When New Orleans chose desecrate rather than educate, we saw what was coming.
I'm not talking monuments. I'm talking McDonough schools, built by a man who owned slaves, was the largest landowner in the USA and for his day educated more poor black and white children in both New Orleans and Baltimore than either local government ever thought of doing. He also let his slaves earn their freedom, educated them in skills, etc.
His name could have been a teaching moment. Putting things in perspective. Tracing education through generations. Even to the connections with Liberia.
