Princeton Grad New Jersey Republican Rep. Leonard Lance stepped in to the ERASE WILSON kerfluffel saying it’s stupid to ignore the totality of Wilson's legacy, “This has to be taken in the context of his entire public service.”

Lance said “George Washington owned slaves. Slavery is an indelible stain on the American nation. But I do not favor renaming the capital jurisdiction.”

Former Rep. Jim Leach (R-Iowa), who taught at the Wilson School after three decades in Congress, says “To me, it’s not a credible response to completely eliminate the name of Wilson.”

Leach said James Duke made his fortune selling cigarettes, Leland Stanford used Chinese labor to become a railroad baron and Thomas Jefferson impregnated one of his slaves.
Leach said“Let’s acknowledge the blind spots and go forward without erasing history.”  
Neither Lance nor Leach adressed what to do with the named Wilson Center in DC or the president himself buried in the Washington National Cathedral Crypt.

President Obama gave Pope Francis two gifts Wednesday morning: a sculpture of an ascending dove and a key from the Maryland home of the first native-born American to be canonized as a saint. Mother Elizabeth Anne Seton. The dove sculpture incorporated an original armature bar from the Statue of Liberty preserved when the statue’s was undergoing it's centennial restoration. The key was chosen, a White House official said because “keys are highly symbolic in the Catholic tradition and appear on His Holiness’ coat of arms as well as on the coat of arms and flag of the Holy See and Vatican City."

THE DAY THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE GAVE THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE AWAY
It was March 3, 1903, President Theodore Roosevelt ordered the Department of State to turn over to the Library of Congress Continental Records that State determined they no longer needed.

VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION & U.S. D.O.T. REMOVES  CONFEDERATE HISTORY OFF AMERICA's TRANSCONTINENTAL RT 1 ROADSIGNS AT SWANN STREET REPLACING PRESIDENT JEFFERSON DAVIS NAME WITH "JEFF DAVIS"
Even before the Confederate shooter's murder of innocent people in their Sunday Church became the reason to remove the Confederate flag from atop the South Carolina Capitol and from vendors, on & offline, plans were in motion to remove history from America's transcontinental Route 1.

Jefferson Davis was the first & only President of the Confederate States Of America & a U.S. Congressman & Secretary Of War. It traverses 162 Miles Of Highway Through North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico, California & Washington. It is reported that in 2002, the state House Of Representatives unanimously approved a bill that would remove Davis' name from the road. The state's Senate killed the proposal. Highway markers can still be seen  along the old main transcontinental roadway. The original eastern  marker of the Jefferson Davis Highway can still be found near the Virginia end of the 14th Street Bridge, which crosses the Potomac from Washington, DC. Route 110 in Arlington County bears the name "Jefferson Davis Highway" as it passes The Pentagon.

President Obama, on the late Rev. Clementa Pinckney "We are here today to remember a man of God who lived by faith. A man who believed in things not seen. A man who believed there were better days ahead, off in the distance. A man of service who persevered, knowing full well he would not receive all those things he was promised, because he believed his efforts would deliver a better life for those who followed."
