Also take the name George H.W. Bush name off of one place in particular. Anybody I'd go on a case-by-case basis but none in my state. Here Romneys, Flakes, and especially Pearces are political families with troubling histories. Both Pearce and Flake descendants were participants in the Mountain Meadow Massacre.

Japanese Exclusion Zone cut right through Mesa to Main Street

Don't know of any names on buildings or anything that connects but certainly report the removal of corrupt names from buildings, streets, anything. Stop the hate but certainly support removal of bad names like Andrew Jackson off the 20 for starters.
