The thinking has changed on Boone, who owned slaves and "took it for granted that he was entitled to confiscate land from indigenous people."
Daniel Boone Elementary will likely bear a different name when the West Ridge school marks its 100th anniversary in a few years.
A student arrives at Daniel Boone Elementary School in Chicago's West Ridge neighborhood on Feb. 24. The Local School Council is considering a name change because Boone was a slaveholder.that students will conduct research to help their class propose a school name. Suitable nominations are slated to be presented to the community at the end of the month.
Dona Vitale, outreach chair of the Rogers Park/West Ridge Historical Society, suspects Boone was picked because he was a respected historical figure when the school opened in 1928. He had died more than a hundred years earlier, in 1820, with tales of his courage and hunting prowess memorialized in music and poetry.
“It was just too big a stretch. It’s just so far you can go with a concept like frontier spirit or some other stuff we were considering when it’s attached to a guy who owned slaves and took it for granted that he was entitled to confiscate land from Indigenous people in the name of needing more elbow room.”
A school rebranding would likely take several months. CPS said under the current rules a new school name would not go to the Board of Education for approval before March 2023, but that timeline could change if a new policy is established.adopted in March 2003, two school community meetings must be held before the Local School Council considers three names.
