I'm reminded of a tour of the Lincoln Cathedral in.. Lincoln England. (go Imps!!)
The tour was pretty neat, we got to see a lot of the church & all. But a few things stuck with me over the years. During the tour, a few of the ornately carved walls had depicted the saints, pretty much all of them/ But back in the 1700's early 1800's (don't remember exactly) this was was considered taboo (like no pics of Allah). So, the malitia that was 'camped out' in the cathedral took potshots at knocking their heads off. A number of years later, portraying the saints came back in fashion. So a local sculptor was tasked with putting their heads back. (incidentally, a lot of the heads were his head! he used his head as the model for a lot of them!)
Also, a lot of the tombs that were under the church, were decorated with lovely brass inlays in the stone floor. But again, at one point in time, this was considered unnecessary & 'ickey', so the brass work was removed (and I believe put towards a war effort). So, more history lost. The brass pins were still in the floor,
Airport '75 was on a few months ago. i remember watching it when I was .. Holley molley that movie is NOT PC today!
So, things change, trends change. It not necessarily about one or two people, but a group effort to either get recognition, show some compassion & courtesy, or to just try and make amends for past incentives..
The McGill Redmen recently changed their name, because of the connotations 'redmen' have (they actually were called 'redmen' because they wore red)
Several lakes & other geographical places in Quebec have undergone a name change to remove the 'N' word.
