** Virginia school board votes to rename high school named after Founding Father who owned slaves. (Sad R., Virginia. George Wythe High School. Renamed it for Katherine Johnson of NASA, a black woman. Why is it that everything renamed has to be of a black person. Don't get me wrong, she is very deserving of all honors, but COME ON!! Will Wythe County and Wytheville in Virginia now have to be renamed?)
I must admit that I had never heard of George Wythe (but have gotten cheap gas in Wytheville, Virginia often). Go to Wikipedia and read about him. A remarkable man even if he did have slaves.

** Nashville suburb sues Tennessee Historical Commission over Confederate named streets. (Forest Hills, Tennessee)
** The man who took down Richmond's Confederate monuments. (Devon Henry, a black man. Of course, he made a whole lot of money doing it and also had a political inside track with the mayor.)
