Change

The process of going back in time and trying to make up for past mistakes can be tricky. Things like removing and/or renaming statues and buildings cannot undo the past. The best is to understand that times change and people change. A simple example is Joe Biden's support of the 1994 crime bill. The 1994 crime bill paved the way to mass incarceration of Black Americans. Biden says his support was a ‘mistake’ Many politicians as well as many people have changed positions over time and this is to be expected. To quote Emerson, A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds. Every scientist and businessman knows that when information changes its time for review.
