Concord rejects middle school name change honoring Black abolitionist 

The "crazy thing" about Ellen is that her father was enslaved, neither of her parents could read or write, and she became a teacher, and that after the Civil War she went on to instruct formally enslaved people how to read and write... oh, and that she got into "good trouble" when, just after the US Government passed the first Civil Rights Act in 1866, she sat down in a railroad waiting room labeled "Whites Only" to protest; 100 years before Rosa Parks did the same thing. Now that's what I call "CRAZY"!

No one calls it “woke” when things are named for Thoreau, Hawthorne, Emerson…
