Living Legends Honor Local Heroes | Roanoke News
Description
Melrose Plaza just unveiled its second class of “Living Legends,” etching five local heroes—retired pastors Edward Burton and William Lee, musician Durell Coleman, former library director Carla Lewis, and Tribune publisher Stan Hale—into the building’s walls for their enduring impact. Hale, who carries on his family’s legacy since 1939, sees journalism as his life’s mission. This honor isn’t just recognition—it’s a powerful symbol of community empowerment, showing that true success is measured by lifting others up. With two classes now celebrated, these legends have left an indelible mark—not just on brick and mortar, but on the very soul of the neighborhood.
