…"This is not just about politics," Jones said. "It's about principle. It's about truth and it's about justice. Let this bridge renaming be more than just a gesture. Let it be a statement. Let it be a step forward. Let it be a call to action. Speak up. Stand with us, as our Senate and elected officials have decided to do in New York State, and make sure Sergeant Henry Johnson's legacy is not just remembered, but respected, preserved and never erased again."… Patroon Island Bridge would be renamed Henry Johnson Bridge. The Patroons were the original Dutch settlers, out of favor now because they held slaves. WAMC: link

I don't think such things are very important because who really knows these people or cares to know them? History for Gen Z and Millennials is what they had for breakfast. Just sayin'.
