Road name changed

[SMLEshooter]

How about this name change? In Illinois of all states, lol. I was born near there but been living in the south for the past 30 years so I don't claim them anymore.

Racially insensitive name of creek in Bureau County to be changed

For over 200 years, the creek was named Negro Creek after the area's first Black settler, but now it's being changed to Adams Creek, the man's name.

That actually kinda makes sense...

If you're going to name something after somebody, might as well use their name.

So when they change the name you can look up the history of the new name then.

Really no need........everybody already knows who MLK Jr. was...........

Really no need........everybody already knows who MLK Jr. was...........

A patriot who challenged this country to live up to it's founding principles?

It's a road name, not history, they change all the time.

There's tons of Confederate named stuff in the south because after the war, the living here wanted to honor their efforts, and that was fine. But the living here now get to choose the names of roads and buildings. It has no effect on me whatsoever.

And to those who feel a deep connection to their historical confederate ancestors just know that your connection can not possibly be stronger to your confederate roots than a black man's connection to his slave roots.

So if to the ones who think we need to get the **** over slavery (I completely agree), but it goes both ways, we can get the **** over the confederacy and all their lame participation trophies all over the state.

In the new non- white world, we get to name roads for people like Cynthia McKinney, a racist, prejudiced, bigoted, shrill anti-Semite. That makes perfect sense in creating harmony among the races.
