Editor’s Note: In our November-December, 2017, issue, we introduced the proposal of the GermanAmerican Heritage Society to restore the historic names of some St. Louis streets by installing plaques. Jim Merkel had invited responses from the neighborhood, and we are pleased that two letters representing both pro and con were received. Remember, you can always go to our website to read the previous articles, as well as explore the full archives of the TIMES, fully digitized and easy to search!
From Jim Merkel: There is no question an injustice was done.
A couple of streets in the Skinker DeBaliviere neighborhood received their names because of a nationwide attack on the heritage of patriotic American citizens.
We don’t want to change any street names or cause offense to anyone.
We just want appropriate public markers acknowledging what happened a century ago this year.
We hope to work with others to make this happen, including those with concerns. Sincerely, Jim Merkel
