Jackson, Mississippi city council votes to remove statue of namesake
The Mississippi capital named after Andrew Jackson, the seventh president of the United States, voted on Tuesday to remove the former Southern populist's statue from the grounds of City Hall in a 5-to-1 vote.
Jackson council members decided to relocate the statue as it becomes another city forced to confront the legacies of slave-owning presidents amid a cultural shift and national reckoning triggered by the death of George Floyd, a Black man who was killed by a White police officer in Minneapolis.
Following the vote, the city's Democratic Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba said it was time to "divorce" the city from the "legacy of a brutal owner of enslaved people who was instrumental in initiating the Trail of Tears against indigenous people."

What about all the descendants of slaves that were named after their owners?

State Capitol, MS sounds like a wise choice to me. Or Evers, MS would work.

State Capitol, MS
The word you’re looking for is capital, which is the city where the state is headquartered.

The new name is ________. They will just allow resident's fill in whatever name they like. Postal service will suffer, but that is the cost for trying to please everyone.

I coined this term for Jackson circa 1988.
EDIT - maybe it was 1986 - whenever Millsaps built the fence
