Progressive activists in Massachusetts have decided that Faneuil Hall, a historic institution in the city of Boston, must be renamed because its namesake Peter Faneuil owned slaves.
I do not advocate for Yale changing its name, but a little consistency from the left would be nice. I don’t think any names should be changed or any monuments removed. I believe America’s history is essential to remember, even the sinful aspects.Faneuil Hall is one of the most famous sites in Boston. There’s a longtime effort in the works by activists and ministers to rename it because of its namesake’s role in the slave trade. Rev. Kevin Peterson sees this fight as a spiritual one.
Peterson and more than two dozen people gathered in front of Boston City Hall to once again demand the name change because Peter Faneuil was a known enslaver. The merchant amassed his fortune in part by trafficking and selling human beings, according to the National Park Service. He was complicit in and benefited from a white supremacist system.People on the left who are gripped by this relatively new mental disorder must be told that America’s history is more important than their feelings.
Now do Yale.
