What the hell is wrong with BNA or just Nashville International? If anything, Nashville has to have had at least one real war hero or a . Winfrey is a liberal joke who hates Nashville. She is a Chicago/Obama fan. Even Cash or Parton beat the hell out of her.
The only airport I can think of named for a Black celebrity is New Orleans’ Airport, and that for Louis Armstrong. I think that was well-earned, as Armstrong was a beloved figure (who ever had a bad word about him ?) and an Ambassador for his hometown, where he was born in abject poverty.
