NYC bird group drops name of illustrator and slave owner Audubon
Briefly

Names may be symbolic, but symbols matter. They matter to staff, volunteers, members, and the conservation community. The name change signals valuing cooperative efforts to save wild birds.
NYC Bird Alliance, formerly NYC Audubon, is an independent chapter linked to the National Audubon Society, which opted to retain the Audubon name despite his slave ownership and views against abolitionism.
