A Bronx street has renamed for the man who took his own life after spending years on Rikers Island without ever being tried.
"Kalief Browder Way" now sits on the corner of East 181st Street and Prospect Avenue in Belmont.
Browder was locked up as a teenager for allegedly stealing a backpack.
He spent three years at Rikers, two of them in solitary confinement.
Prosecutors eventually dropped the charges and released Browder, but he killed himself in June 2015 at the age of 22.
Thursday would have been Browder's 24th birthday, and his siblings say his story is more relevant than ever.
"My brother means so much to me. Not only what he's done for us, but what he's done for millions of Americans that are out there right now suffering that are in solitary confinement that does need a voice," said Nicole Browder, Kalief's sister.
"Kalief's name was to understand all kids, not just Kalief, go through a system. We need more thought put into what we're doing and how we're doing it," said Akeem Browder, Kalief's brother.
Browder's suicide prompted former President Barack Obama to ban the use of solitary confinement for juveniles.
Earlier this year, Mayor Bill de Blasio cited Browder's death when he announced plans to close Rikers.
