    Yes, this is just another "we did it boys, we solved racism!" moment. It would be far more effective, IMO, to use it as a teaching tool ("look how far we've come" etc) than to just delete it. How can we learn from the past if the past has been edited to be all smooth and shiny?

    I thought the company that was tasked with the replacement job put it succinctly.
