At least anything tied to the history of this country.
First Columbus, now activists want to erase history in Michigan, because our current leftist moral judgment must replace the morals of the times and everyone must be judged by present standards.
Quick history lesson - it wasn't just the South that had slaves both the French and British had slavery in Michigan.
Since slavery is bad, anything accomplished by anyone even remotely related to slavery or even completely unrelated to slavery but done by people with any connection to slavery must be condemned and their memorials and names removed everywhere.
The Detroit News: Monuments to Detroit area’s past seen in new, troubling light: Slavery
Throughout Metro Detroit, slaveholders' names are immortalized on roads, schools and businesses. Some of their images are preserved in bronze or marble. Cass, Macomb, Livernois. Groesbeck and Dequindre, Woodward and Woodbridge. Beaubien, Brush, Beaufait.
Activists want to not just rename all these roads and schools but also Wayne County as its named after General Anthony Wayne, who wasn't nice to the Indians.
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” - 1984 by George Orwell
Orwell was not supposed to be a how-to guide.
