The Willow Street elementary school campus, originally named for Robert Mills Lusher, has been renamed for for Dr. Everett J. Williams Jr., the city’s first Black superintendent of the city’s public school system.
After years of contention stemming from the Robert Mills Lusher’s white supremacist legacy, the Lusher Charter School board voted Thursday to begin the process of renaming the highly rated K-12 public school, Marta Jewson reports in The Lens.
After a 90-minute closed-door executive session and unanimous public vote, the board selected a committee to consider new names for the school. The Orleans Parish School Board has renamed the elementary and high school buildings, but the school name can only be changed by the charter board.

I am not young but worry for the generations to come and am not afraid of voice the same.
RACISM IS SO EMBEDDED IN THE VERY SOULS OF MOST WHITE NEW ORLEANS RESIDENTS THAT THEY NEVER CONSIDER THE ILLS AND ATROCIOUS PAIN IT YIELDS. THE NORMALIZATION IS BAFFLING! UNBELIEVABLY AND PURPOSELY PERPETUATED WITHOUT ANY ACCOUNTABILITY! ITS JUST A MATTER OF FACT!
