What Next? John Wayne, Teddy Roosevelt, "Gone With the Wind" and Walt Disney Under the Gun. Jeff Davis Peak in California Gets New Name
JULY 10, 2020
** Peter Bart: Will Hollywood icons topple like Confederate statues in current cancel culture? Now attention is shift to airports (John Wayne) ,statues (Teddy Roosevelt and movies ("Gone With the Wind." Logos might be next, like Walt Disney.
** Jeff Davis Peak ditches Confederate namesake, officials say. Here's what it will be called. (California near Lake Tahoe. It will now be called Da-ek Dow Go-et Mountain. The former name was much easier to say.)
** Slanted American history has skewed our vision. We can relearn.
** Statue to tennis star Arthur Ashe to stay put in Richmond. (Arthur Ashe was a hero and accomplished great feats in tennis, but, if the Confederate statues come down on Monument Avenue, his should be moved elsewhere. I'd hate to see it disrespected with "vandalism" like the other statues were.)
** Top US officer says military split on bases named after Confederate generals.
