PEORIA, Ill. Emotions predictably ran high Wednesday night during the Peoria School District 150 Board of Education town hall meeting regarding the renaming of Thomas Jefferson Primary School.
The board on Sept. 21, 2020 voted to rename six buildings, the Jefferson building being one of them. It was recommended to the board December to rename it after Martin Luther King confidant and adviser Rev. C.T. Vivian and, in January, President Dr. Doug Shaw made it a proposal.
A vote at the Apr. 9 board meeting to formally change the name was tabled.
Peoria American Civil Liberties Union President Spanky Edwards spoke highly in favor of Vivian.
