It’s never going to be a bad decision to rename something after renowned badass and “conductor” of the Underground Railroad, Harriet Tubman. And following that school of thought, a section of a Baltimore park that was once the location of some loser statues has been renamed after the iconic abolitionist.
According to CBS Baltimore, the community held a special ceremony to honor the American hero and Maryland native on Saturday, which was the 105th anniversary of Tubman’s death. The ceremony also marked the official rededication of a section of Wyman Park Dell that was once a notorious Confederate site. The portion of the park where the Confederate monument once stood will now officially be known as Harriet Tubman Grove.
Rest in peace:
Floyd Carter Sr., one of the last of the Tuskegee Airmen, dedicated his remarkable life to serving his country and his city.
The decorated veteran of three wars and 27 years with the NYPD died Thursday at age 95, leaving a long legacy as a groundbreaking hero pilot and a city police detective.
Carter, who simultaneously rose through the ranks of the U.S. Air Force Reserves and the police, was honored in 2007 with the Congressional Gold Medal by President Bush for breaking the color barrier in Tuskegee.
On today’s Kagro in the Morning show: We’re back at it, with Greg Dworkin for our Monday chaos roundup. The kids are grifters, alright. Betsy DeVos tanks on TV. How to cover these unhinged Trump rallies? Gun nuts vs. doctors. Kushner vs. Qatar. Where were they radicalized? Probably on YouTube.
