Mature conversations, courageous ones, need to happen. Should we rename Washington, DC because he was a slave owner? It’s easy to change the names of birds, but need to have a serious understanding of atrocities of the past, but revising history seems rather Orwellian, like changing the word “fat” in Roald Dahl. I don’t know. Just as long as Walter’s Vulture doesn’t change, even though my Long Island relatives and politicians have a lot to answer for.
