[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You should talk to members of the Tyler community on how they’ve addressed this and worked through the name change. This would be interesting to pursue- post Civil War Josiah Dent ran a school that educated poor and working class boys who couldn’t afford to attend during the day. Dent school was named to honor him as an educator. I do t know the right answer but if there’s a community that would engage with this question thoughtfully, it will be the CHDS community. Good luck! [/quote] The school he ran was white only. [/quote] There's a wikipedia page on Dent, including that he moved from Saint Louis to DC to make money by taking care of the DC homes of Southern sympathizers who left DC at the start oh the Civil War. I agree on CHDS being a school that seems to have a good community oriented mission. [/quote]
