This is an example of what is wrong with democracy.

Good thing we have a Constitutional Republic.

LOL

Yes, rename the city after Booker T. Washington and save all the expense of changing the stationery and everything else.

Washington State did something similar. They renamed King County (originally named for a short-lived Vice President who served 6 weeks in 1853) so that it is now named for Martin Luther King, Jr.

The Jefferson Memorial would be easier to fix. Just rename it the Sally Hemings Memorial. Instead of removing Jefferson's statue, add one of Sally (but it would have to be 60% the size of Jefferson's statue because of the "three fifths" clause).

Nah, just rename it the George Jefferson Memorial.

“Oh yeah we movin’ on up!
To the top!
Of a DEE luxe apartment, in the sky . . .”

Rename it District of Corruption.
