The capital of Texas is named for the founder of the Republic of Texas Stephen F. Austin. He was however against banning slavery and held views many would very racist today. A recent report by the city Equity Office suggested renaming several parks and streets named for Confederacy.
Removing Confederate monuments put up a a form of intimation is one thing but to start renaming streets and cities as large as Austin is a very stupid idea. Its whitewashing history and makes one wonder where this movement will end. Should a statue of Jefferson be taken down because he was a slave owner or anyone who held views we consider racist today? Of course not. There wouldn't be many statues left if we did that.
What's your take NSG?
