I was noticing that on the west side of Detroit runs Woodrow Wilson Boulevard. Does anyone not see the irony of having such a street named for one of the greatest anti-Black racists running through almost uniformally Black neighborhoods ?
I sent one of the inner city pastors I know in Detroit a copy of “Coolidge” for Christmas along with some select quotes from Coolidge on race, rights, and freedom. He sent me an email the other day to tell me that last Sunday’s sermon came right out of the book.
It was about those who speak of their good deeds endlessly vs those who quietly do good without fanfare and the rewards awaiting both men in eternity.
I’m positive that the paternalistic liberal white people who named that Boulevard were well aware of the irony.
