Stevie Wonder now has a street in Detroit, Michigan named after him.

The new Stevie Wonder Avenue is a one-block stretch of Detroit's Milwaukee Street, where Wonder lived during his youth.

As the street name was unveiled, Wonder was also presented a key to the city by Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan.

"It's an amazing feeling, unbelievable to say the least. I never imagined that in my lifetime this would happen," Wonder said.

"This is just an amazing moment. I know that things can't last forever, but y'know what? I'm going to freeze this moment in my mind and remember it forever.

You didn't have to do it, but you did."

"When I think about this street now being Stevie Wonder Avenue, I want all of us to walk down the street that leads us to a place of humanity, equality, of fairness and respect for each other," he added.
