There is a Stapleton neighborhood where the old airport used to be in Denver,CO. Named after this mayor of Denver:

“Benjamin Franklin Stapleton (November 12, 1869 – May 23, 1950) was the Mayor of Denver, Colorado, USA, for two periods (comprising five terms), the first from 1923 to 1931 and the second from 1935 to 1947. He also served as a member of the Ku Klux Klan and as the Democratic Colorado State Auditor from 1933 to 1935.”

Stapleton broke with the Klan in his first term and was excommunicated or whatever they call it.

He also did a lot of good as Mayor, more than just the airport.

He was a veteran of the Philippine Insurrection and along with some Spanish War veterans founded the VFW. He was a member of Post No. 1 in Denver.

But, don't confuse these woke people with any facts. I suppose they'll try to rename it Floyd.
