1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,920
Speaker 1: A man of the cloth. A pastor has asked the

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 1: mayor of Chicago to change the names of two parks

3
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 1: in his neighborhood. Bishop James Duke's pastor Deliberation Christian Center,

4
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 1: says Chicago has no business honoring George Washington and Andrew Jackson.

5
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 1: He says that both were slave owners, which is especially

6
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: offensive in Chicago's black communities. He told the media, when

7
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,919
Speaker 1: my children or grandchildren walked through these parks and say, grandfather,

8
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 1: wasn't he a slave owner? How do I explain that?

9
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: And how do I reconcile that with their views of

10
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 1: what heroes are. Pastor Dukes says that he isn't trying

11
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: to eradicate history. He just wants it put where it

12
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: belongs so it can be taught properly. Now, who does

13
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 1: Pastor Dukes think is worthy of having their names on

14
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:48,239
Speaker 1: community parks? When he offered a couple of ideas, the

15
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: reverend jacks or Michael Jackson. Actor Leslie Odom Jr. Who

16
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: performed in the Broadway musical Hamilton also wait did He

17
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: told TMZ that pulling down statues of Washington and Jeffreyson

18
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: should be on the table for discussion. Perhaps the better

19
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: question for Rom Emmanuel, the mayor, and Pastor Davis and

20
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: Mr Odom isn't what the name of the parks ought

21
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 1: to be. It's whether children and grandchildren who visit the

22
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: parks in Chicago these days stand a chance of getting

23
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: out of them alive. I mean, there's a lot of

24
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:22,199
Speaker 1: people getting shot in Chicago. You remember that, right, Kids too,
