Iowa County Chooses to Be Named for a Black Professor, Not a Slave Owner

A county in Iowa cut ties Thursday with a slave-owning U.S. vice president for which it had been named, choosing instead to be named for a professor who was the first Black woman to earn a doctorate in the state. They shared a surname: Johnson. Johnson County chose Lulu Merle Johnson, who taught...

So they renamed it after a professor.

It is no longer Johnson county.

It is now named Johnson county.

Can you imagine all the trouble and cost it going to be, changing various signs?

Johnson Park will now be ...... Johnson Park.

The local library?

Have to get a sculptor in to change the ediface over the doors from Johnson to Johnson.

Changing all the Historical signs?

Decals, badges of office...

THE HORROR!!!

Thank you Iowa for proving that the more things change, the more they stay the same.

There's a reason we on the East side of the Mississippi call you Idiots Out Wandering Around.

how fucking stupid are they?

They chose not to continue to honor an obscure Vice President who had no ties to the town....in favor of someone who did.

The fact she's a black woman is what bothers you....

Total irony????

The first Johnson owned the ancestors of the second Johnson.

Has nothing to do with it.

If they are going to change the name, CHANGE THE DAMN NAME.

Change it. Name it after (George Washington) Carver, (Al) Sharpton, (Martin Luther) King, I don't care.

Hell, it they're going to name it after a professor, and keep the same name, why not THIS professor?
