History can be erased.  That is what the renaming issue is about.  Some folks want to erase the progression of thinking that has occurred in this country treating all who came earlier as reprehensible.  Truth is that people reflect their times.  Can't avoid it.  Back then, it was okay for girls to marry at 12.  Imagine what would be done to a man who married a 12 year old today.  Thinking changes.  Who knows what the future holds.  I would not be surprised if those who espouse the erasure of history and suppression of people from long past times for wrong thinking may one day be considered as highly destructive.
