In Alabama, we have Community Colleges named after key figures in the defense or slavery, secession, segregation, etc. It honestly makes me sick to think about it in those terms, but that is the sad legacy of my state.
I am NOT a huge fan of the practice of naming of buildings after politicians, but I am a proponent of congressional term limits, which would ideally eliminate such things from happening anyway. If a wealthy person donates personal cash to a school, then I am all for naming a building after them - or if they have made a unique and significant contribution to society via achievement, discovery, artistic accomplishments, etc. such as renaming the English building “Harper Lee Hall” because of her great legacy and ties to UA.
