Should Lake Calhoun's name be changed?

May 23, 2011 - 5:11pm


KARE 11 reported recently that the Minneapolis Park Board has been presented with the idea of re-naming Lake Calhoun, and that the issue will be brought up at a public hearing in the next few months. The reason behind the proposed name change is that its namesake, John C. Calhoun, was apparently a very outspoken proponent of slavery in the United States.

What do you think? Change or no change?
