When Are We Going To Rename Washington DC?
He was a slaveholder. Owned hundreds of slaves.
How do you explain to young minority Americans that their nation's capital is named for a white man that used to own people like them?
Rename it Columbia.
There has to be consistency, right? If you can't have statues honoring slaveholders then you can't have capitals honoring them.
Or is the line drawn at Confederate slaveholders, and American slaveholders are acceptable?
