History should never be erased no matter how bad. Those who refuse to learn history are doomed to repeat it. No different than what the Taliban has done in the middle east.

I was born and raised in Parkside, at 51st and Bee Road. The comments that we should keep the name and explain Why it would not be named that in today’s world are more educational, to all, than simply changing the name.

Someone forwarded an article written by Grant Pipet. The end of the article on the man's life I believe speaks to the issues we face here:
The story of John Newton is remarkable. It speaks to how complex and winding a life can truly be. Newton went from a young sailor to failed deserter to slave to slaving captain to tax collector to Christian priest, to poet, to hymn writer and a successful abolitionist. He was a coarse, wildly disliked, nonbeliever who became a devout Christian. He spun a life of debauchery into a quiet life in the countryside. Newton wrote one of the most beloved hymns of all time. He lived to see the passage of the Slave Trade Act in 1807 after being a slaver for many years.
Men are complicated and we benefit when we can look at their lives as a whole and take out the good, recognize the bad and appreciate how deep a life can truly be.
