Grandstaff?.....its just another neutral name without meaning....
my opinion is certainly "wrong" but I think some of these traditional names tell more of America's story than some neutral name that signifies little of the history...
I’m with you on that - Negro Bill - interesting. Grandstaff Canyon doesn’t do anything for me, however, I am glad at least they still honored Negro Bill by still naming the canyon after him but in the future we will never know that it was named after a black man. No one will bother to find out.
I can see why people, and not just the BLM folks, would find that archaic word offensive. Although it would be hypocritical for people who use worse words to pretend to be offended, but that is nothing new. Some people will find offense in anything but that does not mean that ordinary people who do not have a chip on their shoulder might be more comfortable with using a different name. Although, true, a “wrong,” historical name might teach more history.
