JFK school, named for slaveholder, now honours Black activist

JFK school, named for slaveholder, now honours Black activist by The Associated Press Last Updated Jan 22, 2021 at 1:58 pm EDT BROOKLINE, Mass. An elementary school that was once attended by John F. Kennedy is being renamed to honour a Black activist and suffragist after research revealed its previous namesake enslaved people. The public school district in Brookline announced Friday that it will hold an online ceremony next week formally renaming the school as the Florida Ruffin Ridley School. The town agreed on the name in 2019 after deciding to abandon its previous one, the Edward Devotion School. Devotion, who died in 1744, left money to the town on the condition it was used for a school. Town residents later proposed a name change after finding that Devotion owned at least one slave.
