March 25, 2021 Edward H. Sebesta XXXXXXXXXXX Dallas, TX XXXXX edwardsebesta@gmail.com Diana Flores Chair Board of Trustees 1601 Botham Jean Blvd. Dallas County Community College District Dallas, TX 75215 Dear Ms. Flores: When the City of Dallas wishes to change a street name, one of the actions done is to contact the property owners of those properties on a street or abut it. For the Lamar Street name change to Botham Jean Blvd., NC190-003, the Dallas County Community College School District (DCCCD) was contacted for the following properties at to whether they supported or opposed renaming South Lamar Street to Botham Jean Boulevard. 1. 1601 S. Lamar St. (Now 1601 Botham Jean Blvd.) DCCCD did not respond to the inquiry. DCCCD should not only have responded, but they should have supported the name change. Mirabeau B. Lamar was a vicious racist who vigorously supported slavery, led a genocidal campaign against Native Americans in Texas, attempted an invasion of New Mexico, ran ads for runaway slaves in his newspaper in Georgia, was an owner and seller of slaves, made pro-slavery speeches, made racist threats to subjugate Nicaragua, was sympathetic to filibusters against Cuba. A biography is available for download as a PDF at this webpage. http://templeofdemocracy.com/lamar-street-old.html Or you can download it from here: https://issuu.com/edwardh.sebesta/docs/mirabeau_bounaparte_lamar I enclose with this letter a 14-page PowerPoint which gives a good short summary of his numerous crimes against humanity. The communications from the headquarters of the DCCCD shouldn’t have the return address of a white supremacist named street. This alone should have been a reason for DCCCD to respond. Also, I enclose a map of El Centro College which is on North Lamar St. I think that no DCCCD campus should be bounded on any side by a street named after a white supremacist.
