Slavery was legal and common during the time Austin lived. I suspect this is less about slavery and more about the Texas War of Independence.

No suggestion was given for a new name, is Santayana in the running?

Oh. Yeah they’re thinking all of a sudden about Texas war of independence

Psshht

They’re not thinking about all the people named Austin. What are they supposed to do? These people don’t care about that nor about the abortion mills set up in Austin.

Austin will still be the creepy town we have to go through to get to baylor and A&M while blessing ourselves with holy water all the way no matter what name they give it. And it is creepy NOT because of Stephen Austin.

I do need to go see the Stevie Ray statue sometime
