You know its a sad day when white folks have to step in and make us do right by our own folks. When whitey has to tell us to respect and honor our elders, then something is wrong.

Senate votes to rename ASU Acadome...
The Alabama Senate overwhelmingly passed a resolution Thursday that would rename the arena at Alabama State University the Joe L. Reed Acadome.

Trustees at the university named the arena for Reed in 1991, but the current board reversed that decision last year, having his name and likeness stripped from throughout the facility.

The Senate voted 16-3 Thursday in favor of the resolution. Sen. Quinton Ross, a Montgomery Democrat who was once president of the student body at Alabama State, abstained from the vote.
.....

"When you put a person's name on something, you are honoring that person," Reed said. "When you take it off, you are dishonoring them."

Reed said the issue, for him, was a matter of honor and restoring honor.

Please read the rest, this is so sad
