Doesn’t seem quite right that EVERY street named after a Confederate hero now must to be changed to that of a Negro, or some Civil Rights pablum like Emancipation Boulevard. If they (the people) want to change the names, which they don’t, name them after someone or something of note, but qualifications should be broader than “the first black ....”.
They changed the main street that runs through our black part of town to Martin Luther King Blvd 30 years ago or so. People from here still call it Cottonwood, the original name. lol
An American history book I used neglected the Wright brothers, but did have space for the woman who started the first black kindergarten in Los Angeles. Have no idea who started the first kindergarten in L.A. or the first school for that matter. Google “American Inventors” or “American Scientists” and see what you get.
