This reminds me of when New Orleans deleted the name of George Washington school.> School officials didn’t want a school named after someone who owned slaves. Presumably it was hurting the self esteem of black students. The school was renamed after some allegedly historic African king, which greatly boosted self esteem among black students. No word on whether this move helped student achievement in one of America’s worst performing school districts.

Any word on how many slaves the black king owned, and how many he sold to Muslim traders?
