The move comes after months of urging by board member Joseph Sokolovic.
Sokolovic first raised the issue in June, after everything tied to the Columbus name came under fire as a reminder of the historic mistreatment of immigrants and people of color.
The author of the books which inspired new Netflix drama Bridgerton has backed the decision to cast King George III s wife as black.
Queen Charlotte is played by British actress Golda Rosheuvel, 49, in the new period drama, which has been compared to the enormously popular Downton Abbey.
American author Julia Quinn, whose book series of the same name inspired the show, has backed the colour-conscious casting, saying that many historians believe Queen Charlotte had some African background .
The theory that Charlotte - who was born into an aristocratic German family - had African ancestry is partly based on how she looks in some portraits.
