If they cant the big one for the FSK they'll just resort to incrementalism and throwing other deceased democrats under the bus.

They love to tear down statues to erase their racist history, don't they.

Oh look!

Party affiliation was whitewashed from the article!

Wiki~Frederick C. Malkus Jr. (July 1, 1913 – November 9, 1999) was a Democratic state legislator from Maryland.[4] He served in the Maryland House of Delegates from 1947 to 1951 and then in the Maryland State Senate until 1994. When he retired, he had served for 48 years, making him the longest serving legislator in the US.[5] He never lost a re-election bid, though he did lose a 1973 congressional race to Republican Robert E. Bauman.[6]

The Black Caucus Imo has much more work to do in Cambridge rather than worrying about bridge names.
One would think they would be wise enough to understand its who you are, rather than what you answer to and what you achieve that makes a difference.
Evidently not a very sophisticated bunch. Good with a name, instead of making an African American local senator or some other sort of leader.

All they know is identity politics. Born and raised to it. They know nothing else.

I’ll never forget the history of Democrat racists.

I went to college with Senator Malkus' daughter. Our Econ Prof used to mention Fred from time to time.
I sure miss my Econ profs. All super smart dudes.
