ORLANDO, FL. (KDKA) -- Roberto Clemente has a bridge named after him in Pittsburgh -- and now a road in Orlando also bears his name.

The city renamed Stonewall Jackson Road to Roberto Clemente Road this week.

They say it's an effort to make the city a more welcoming, inclusive place for all.

Roberto Clemente's son, Luis, was in Orlando for the unveiling.

A few years ago, a school in Orlando was also renamed in honor of Clemente, with a mural featured on the side of the building.
