Questions for NAACP’s Woods
I have four questions for the NAACP’s Elenora Woods:
Will the name of M.L. King Boulevard be restored to Ninth Street? Will Bessie Smith Hall be restored in name to the mill it once was? Will the proposed plaque for the Walnut Street Bridge installation be cancelled? Will the historical marker that identified the location of the blacksmith shop that was owned by a former slave be removed from downtown?
I don’t really think so, and I would vehemently oppose any of those measures since all four are a rightful part of the history of our city.
Once again, I call on Ms. Woods to propose and purpose the role of her organization to the commitment of bettering our city by positive actions as opposed to her divisive, inane rhetoric over a non-aggressive statue. If she cannot or will not effect a positive commitment for our citizenry, then I suggest she take her negative and divisive outlook back from whence she came, and destroy and divide that city.
