Hence, nothing to remind them of the NA's so that they won't feel bad for doing nothing of substance for them.
Agreed. Name changing, removing historical references like statues/streets is easy, actually doing something of substance that would help them will most likely never be done, even if Biden becomes president. Once all references to them are gone, we can all pretend like we did something nice for them though.
