"And others with loud public megaphones ignore the damage the CTU has visited upon Black and brown children through the shutdown of government schools, instead draping themselves in DuSable Drive virtue signaling.Enjoy, my friends.

Why isn’t Lake Shore Drive named after St. George Floyd, or Garner, or Brown or all the rest of those who resisted arrest? Sophia King and the black caucus gave into blm and antifa in removing the Columbus statues. It’s time to protect our heritage before these domestic terrorists destroy our history.

Another issue other than the phony virtue flaunting is that some of the names the City comes up with don’t mean a thing to anyone–even in the minority communities. Ask people who “Bishop Ford” is and you get a bunch of blank stares even from African Americans. Several folks I have talked to think that Washington Park is named after Harold. And I wonder what percentage of Chicagoans black or white can tell you who Dan Ryan was.

And the Stevenson Expressway, unfortunately most are clueless.
