Black leaders remembered a trailblazer in Black hair care on Thursday as they pushed for a portion of Tooley Street in Encanto to be renamed after Willie Morrow, who passed in 2022.
“When your name’s as good as gold because of how you treated people, that is the greatest thing that any heir could inherit,” said Cheryl Morrow, Willie’s eldest daughter, fondly remembering her dad as a black hair care pioneer.
