One of the progressive HR departments I'm familiar with recently celebrated Messrs. Sanger and Anthony (Susan B.) either in full knowledge (presumably given they passed over celebrating others they found problematic) or totally ignorant of their histories (which given their sensitivity, seems unlikely). If the latter, then it looks like it could depend on the person whether they are "forgiven" for their sins. Sanger, for those unfamiliar, was a eugenicist. Also, mr Sharpton is known for his past history of bigotry and the great majority of people pretend he never uttered bigoted words is not only on TV but is celebrated as a civil rights leader.
