For the life of me I can't understand why a statue of Andrew Jackson must be banned when we have schools streets and other things named Malcolm X all over the U S. and nobody sees a problem with that.
There are only a handful of streets in the U.S. named Malcolm X, and even then, it might not be an actual renaming, or it might be just a short stretch of a street. Like Lenox Avenue in New York City--both "Lenox Avenue" and "Malcolm X Blvd" are officially recognized.
There's a street named after Malcolm X in Lansing, Michigan, which is where he grew up. And Boston, where he moved as a teenager (and it's just a little portion of a street). The only others I know of are in Brooklyn, Dallas, and Washington, D.C.
Same with schools--just a few.
