Why? It's a waste of resources and causes logistical issues for no other reason than "feelings".

And Tulane Ave holds Tulane Medical Center and Tulane School of Medicine, 2 of the largest entities in the city. I would say it surely represents the current people and culture of the city. But we all know it's really not about that.

They take names away from streets and locations because the people associated with them are considered to be imperfect.

Are these new suggestions because these are perfect people?
Was Leah chase perfect?
Was Allen toussant perfect?

How do they determine purity?

Bourbon St. to Hennessey Way


There's already a Hennessey Street (different spelling).

Needs to be on the cancel list:

Is it mandated they change the name to a non white? Can't they also add some good white folks name to the list? or are you telling me there are no good white folk.

Gee, it's like they're just replacing white names with black names, like they're conquerors or something.

I'm offended they didn't mention Breonna Taylor as a choice.

I don’t care except don’t name anything after Leah Chase

She was just as discriminatory as most people - and just like others she hid it

No. One of the re-names is a white guy. John Minor Wisdom Park to replace Palmer Park.

Music circle is actually a really cool name swap but noooooooo can’t possibly do that. Gotta knee jerk it up and name it after someone

frick it. Just burn New Orleans down. Then all these incredible superior blacks can build it back and name it for whoever they want since apparently wypipo are just dumb mud monkeys who don’t deserve to have anything remembered about them
