Attempting to eradicate all things offensive is a slippery slope. Seeing all things through our current lenses without trying to learn about things in their historical context can lead to repeating mistakes. Remembering doesn't have to mean honoring. Discomfort promotes growth.

Changing names doesn’t change history or how it’s interpreted, if you want to learn from history you should be learn and teach about, keep remembering persons, incidents, facts, don’t hide or try to forget

NYT should do some in-depth reporting about how Texas came to exist and what the Federal government had to do to make it in to what it became by the late 20th century. It’s disdain for the Federal government defies logic—yet the history is rarely–probably never–told.

Hiding the past doesn't solve anything. If they want to feel proud of their name, then they should make it so they world knows Austin for what makes it great (breakfast tacos I hear), and not about something in its past where people lack the context to understand why it's wrong.

Rename it “Austin-Reeves” after the lead singer of the Shirelles. She’s black, she’s a woman, she’s a great American, sang the first #1 hit by a black girls group in history, and it would be cheap to change the highway signs. Problem solved.
