KSTP Created: June 22, 2021 12:00 PM The Minnesota Disability Justice Network is petitioning the city of Minneapolis to change the name of a local street name due to the historical figure s ties to ableism, the Third Reich and the eugenics movement. According to a news release, the organization has gotten more than 700 people to sign a petition to rename Dight Avenue in Minneapolis. The street is named after Charles Fremont Dight, a former professor at the University of Minnesota who was considered the leader of Minnesota s eugenics movement. Dight not only founded the Minnesota Eugenics society but actively pursued the same type of eugenics as Nazi scientists such as Josef Mengele. In 1933, Dight wrote a letter to Adolf Hitler praising the Third Reich s efforts to stamp out mental inferiority, the Minnesota Disability Justice Network said in a statement.
