San Francisco Unified School District s renaming committee decided Abraham Lincoln High School will be renamed
Under his watch, Indigenous peoples had much of their land taken from them through the 1862 Homestead Act and the Pacific Railway Act
In 1864, the Lincoln administration oversaw the deportation of the Navajo tribe from their land in Arizona to march a brutal 450 mile journey to New Mexico
Lincoln was also behind the largest mass hanging in US history, where 38 Dakota men were condemned to death in Minnesota in 1862
But Lincoln also abolished slavery in 1863 with the Emancipation Proclamation
44 of the 125 schools in the San Francisco Unified School District to be renamed
