The above is a link to an article at Quartz.


The focus of the article is that in some countries there is a lack of streets named after women.

So this project in Spain of renaming streets will both eliminate the fascist names and provide streets to be named after women.

I think this provides an interesting example to be emulated in the United States where we could both eliminate Confederate street names and name streets after those who have been underrepresented.

Quartz has a good article about how the Civil War was over slavery, not states' rights

It’s a self-delusion some use to justify neo-Confederate pride: stars-and-bars bumper stickers, or remnants of Confederate iconography woven into some of today’s state flags. “It’s about Southern pride,” they insist. “It’s about heritage”—forgetting, intentionally perhaps, that slavery and its decade-spanning echoes are very much a part of the collective American heritage. Confederate denialism, in the form of states’ rights advocacy, permits sentimentalists to keep their questionable imagery without having to address its unsavory associations.
