Some of our neighborhood activists, most notably Clifford Walker, are advocating for a name change for Jefferson High School. Walker says that we should not be glorifying the name of Thomas Jefferson -- an ''avowed racist and slave owner'' and father of Sally Heming's children. Jefferson, it should also be noted, was principle author of the Declaration of Independance, 3rd President of the United States and chief architect of the Lewis & Clark Expedition.
The question of changing the name of Jefferson High School is the topic of discussion. What do YOU think...why or why not?
