The structure connects the Canadian island province of Confederation of Canada, while "Epekwitk" is the indigenous Mi'kmaq name for Prince Edward Island. The name change must be approved by the Canadian federal government.

Notes
- ^ Durham's name was also removed from the building and SVU's web site, and would no longer be used in SVU's publications.[16] SVU administrators had become aware of Durham's views about a week before the renaming, from a social media post in response to a statement condemning racism made by the university roughly a week after the George Floyd protests began.[16][17]
- ^ Durham was president from 1919 to 1942.[16]
- ^ Durham authored and published a novel with white supremacist themes, disenfranchised African American voters, and advocated for white supremacist views with US Congressmembers and other politicians.[16]
- ^ The resolution approved by the trustees stated, "The Trustees of Indiana University do hereby approve the naming of the Intramural Center on the IU Bloomington Campus as the William Leon Garrett Fieldhouse."[24] However, the sign in front of the facility itself reads "Bill Garrett Fieldhouse".[25]
- ^ The trustees had actually approved a recommendation to rename the facility to "William L. Garrett-Ora L. Wildermuth Intramural Center" on February 20, 2009.[26] However, the school announced four days later that it would not implement the change because it lacked support from Garrett's family.[26]
- ^ The committee was formed in order to "establish an official process to rename [Philip] J. Schuyler Achievement Academy, and to evaluate the history behind each district building's name in order to consider other changes as necessary".[61]
- ^ The superintendent was directed to change the name by Sep 8, 2020 and a news release stated that the change was "effective for the 2020–21 school year".[70][71] A letter to the community stated that items were being replaced immediately, and the school's web page had begun switching to the new name on the day of the renaming decision.[72][73]
- ^ The Marge Schott Seminar Room is located in Carl Blegen Library, which houses the university's Archive and Rare Books Library.[79]
[80][81][82] - ^ The vote followed University of Oregon President Michael Schill's recommendation to the board to rename the hall because of Deady's racist views.[85]
- ^ One such attempt occurred in 2016, when the university's Black Student Task Force demanded that the building be renamed. On January 25, 2017, President Schill refused the demand.[86]
- ^ Society members also pointed out that Linnaeus was not an entomologist, and using his name for the games implied that the games were centered around the taxonomy of insects, even though the games actually covered a wide range of entomology.[126]
- ^ Date of denaming. The new name was chosen on July 16.[127][128]
- ^ Over 6,500 suggestions were submitted, with the top five names being West Side Middle School, Katherine Johnson Middle School, Charleston Middle School, Jack Perry Middle School, and Booker T. Washington Middle School.[129]
- ^ At the time, the area was in the state of Virginia.[130]
- ^ The board had also considered the issue the previous year, but had elected to keep the name at the time.[132]
- ^ The letter was received by the board on July 6, 2020.[139] The school was previously called "William E. Fanning Elementary School", but the board had changed the name to "Fanning Academy of Science and Technology" when it tried to "partially defuse the issue".[140][141]
- ^ His name is "included in list No. 2 of Orange County KKK members", but there was considerable debate over the validity of the list, as seen in the minutes of the board meetings of January 14, 2019 and January 28, 2019.[142][141][140]
- ^ Renamed in honor of Earl Campbell and Ricky Williams.[151]
- ^ Rice University Professor Raymond L. Johnson had "wr[itten] in [Moore's] teacher profile that Moore once told a black student 'he was welcome to take his course, but that he would start with a C and could only go down from there.'"[152]

- ^ Two blocks of the southeast area of the neighbourhood are actually located in Aurora.[222]
- ^ This can be translated as "Liberty and Human Dignity Square".[235]
- ^ Because the board called an emergency meeting, advocates working on the renaming for years were disappointed at being unable to attend, with one organizer stating that she felt snubbed, and a group of student advocates who wanted the park named for both Frederick Douglass and his wife Anna Murray Douglass were unable to present their request at the meeting.[265]
- ^ Douglas supported expanded slavery in a debate against Abraham Lincoln, and his wife owned at least 100 slaves.[266]
- ^ The commission found no record of the park being formally named by the city after Williams, but acknowledged that it was being referred to with his name, and adopted a resolution rejecting the usage of that name.[271]

- ^ A spokesperson for BVG stated that they "[we]re not responsible for street names" and added that the Wikipedia article on him had not covered his anti-Semitism until recently.[313]

- ^ a b Changed technically executed on unknown date prior to date of first known report.
- ^ Trader Joe's statement issued during the George Floyd protests was first reported on July 17, 2020.[362]

- ^ Change would also propagate to all Dixie-branded products.[387]
- ^ This is the first known report of how the two new names were chosen.[421] The Sheridan Livery Inn announced their name change on social media on Jun 7, 2020,[422] while the Robert E. Lee Hotel's name change was reported by The New York Times on Jul 26, 2020.[423]
- ^ "Antebellum" refers to culture in the South before the Civil War, including slavery.[427]
- ^ The team also announced that they would use the names "Edmonton Football Team" and "EE Football Team" until a more appropriate new name is found.[452]
