The Issue

There are several roads throughout the city of Monroe named for General George Armstrong Custer. I am asking the city of Monroe to rename all of the roads with his last name and name them for BIPOC that contributed to the city and the county in a positive way. On November 26, 1868 Custer located a large village of Cheyenne encamped near the Washita River, just outside of present-day Cheyenne, Oklahoma. Within a few hours, the village was destroyed—the soldiers had killed 103 Cheyenne, including the peaceful Black Kettle and many women and children.

Our public roads should not be named after a man who murdered unarmed women and children.
