Never turn left on Tulane ever again

What if it were not just legally prohibited but also physically impossible?

And then there are candidates that could lead to other, much more significant name change fights, most notably Tulane Avenue, named after Paul Tulane.

Tulane is most often remembered as a philanthropist, and technically that’s true; he funded higher education. But according to the city researchers, the New Jersey native was also the largest donor to the Confederate States of America. He also bought the University of Louisiana — which would unsurprisingly be renamed after him — and privatized it.

Surprised to see this one on there only because it opens a wider discussion about the intersection of racism and "philanthropy" particularly with regard to New Orleans's social and political hierarchy that I would certainly love to see us have out in the open. But I wonder if any of these decisionmakers really want all that stuff aired out fully.
