Rename America
9th August 2018
Austin’s Equity Office has recommended renaming the Texas city because of Stephen F. Austin’s alleged views on slavery. But why stop at just renaming Austin when Amerigo Vespucci took and sold slaves.
Austin, Texas is named after Stephen F. Austin, but America is named after Amerigo Vespucci.
We could rename in ‘Indiana’. Of course we would then need to rename the State of that name, but that would be easy: Wabash — it’s already there, in the State Song.
