44. Remember, the School Board has already REJECTED the best solution which is to change the name.
Thus you have Students in a School whose name they want to change BUT CAN NOT. The best way to change that name to to connect that name to Forest's bad side, the Massacre at Ft. Pillow and his later leadership of the KKK. A student Run memorial to Ft Pillow, in my opinion, the best solution, it brings to the public the bad side of Forest and the need for the name change. Something has to be done to get people to want this school's name change to be the Majority of the people of the School District. How do you want to start that campaign? Mass mailings? Protests? Both are just fleeting, a memorial would be a comment on Forest that will be visible by everyone and slowly build up the pressure over time.
