[GregCookland] - Boston’s Faneuil Hall Is Named For A Slaver, Kevin Peterson Launches Hunger Fast Calling For It To Be Renamed
Boston’s Faneuil Hall is named for a slaver. This afternoon, Kevin Peterson, founder of the Boston-based New Democracy Coalition, launched a hunger fast at the landmark across from Boston City Hall as part of his multi-year effort to get the building renamed.
"This building behind me is a publicly owned building that we want to have renamed in the city of Boston because it’s named after a slave owner," Kevin Peterson said in a Facebook live video this afternoon. "...We do not want to remove the hall or have it torn down. We want to have the hall renamed after someone who wasn’t a slave owner."
"We’ve been petitioning the mayor for over two years to simply allow citizens of Boston to hold a hearing," Peterson said. "And the mayor of Boston has refused to talk to us and the City Council has refused to talk to us."
I sent to the mayor’s press office this afternoon seeking comment, but so far have not received a response.
Look at the dude's picture - it could take him months to fast...
