> In Wilson’s case, he accomplished a lot and was also actively racist as he held office. Should that cancel the building and other campus honors? Can his racist blemishes be held up and discussed - so his history is used to further discussion, while honoring his accomplishments? I wish that were the case.

I don’t believe that we owe anyone’s legacy not to change names of buildings and other honors when in balance that person no longer broadly represents something that we can all endorse as a whole.
