One year before the university was forced to integrate, the student government association voted in 1962 to name the streets after a plantation or plantation owner in Louisiana.
Pretty shitty thing to do.

ETA So a group of only 70 students want things changed?
Some of you would do well reading the entire article. This is very early in what ultimately is a formal process.

As the current university president said - he would have listened to the case for the street names in 1962 just like he'll listen to the case made in 2019. Seems like a reasonable way to go about your business.

Surprised it took this long for someone to be "offended".

Not even named after people but after plantations, I mean why not just change Oak Alley because it is threatening
