It didn't take long:

The Francis Scott Key bridge collapsed only hours ago, but the AP is making sure you know Key was an evil slave owner

I noticed it was in the top section of the wikipedia page for him, 3rd paragraph.

2024 - Key owned slaves from 1800, during which time abolitionists ridiculed his words, claiming that America was more like the “Land of the Free and Home of the Oppressed”.[5]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Scott_Key

2018 - Key owned slaves from 1800 but freed them in the 1830s, paying one ex-slave as his farm foreman. Key publicly criticized slavery and gave free legal representation to some slaves seeking freedom, but also represented owners of runaway slaves as well. Representing both slaves and slave owners is emblematic of his complex relationship with slavery. As District Attorney Key suppressed abolitionists and didn’t support an immediate end to slavery. Instead he supported “recolonizing Africa” which meant sending freed slaves back to Africa.

Most of the sources for the 2024 paragraph are dated 2018 as well. The election of Trump really set the Commie|Fascist info activists into overdrive.

Imagine if Key got his wish of sending them back to Africa.

The WH - Fedgov was awfully quick to volunteer our money to fully fix/replace that State bridge. I’d say a name change is 100% guarantee.

With wokeism, there is no forgiveness, ever, no matter how earnestly someone has repented and made reparations already. It’s a giant shakedown racket.
