As other people have said, there's almost no one who will stand the full test of time. Washington/Jefferson owned slaves for instance. There are people who did bad things but also accomplished things. Perhaps we allow things to be named after them but have to say for __ ie being named after James Webb for his work on the lunar landings. Perhaps also when naming buildings/etc after people, have a plaque that mentions some of the controversies around the person. https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/S-F-might-change-44-school-names-renouncing-15651679.php https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/S-F-might-change...
Or we move away from naming things after people.
