                            Lakeview School’s New Name Honors Harriet Tubman After Board Approves Name Change

                            Agassiz Elementary now will be Harriet Tubman IB World School, stripping the name of the Swiss American scientist who backed theories used to defend slavery.

                            Lakeview’s Agassiz School Ditching Name Of Racist Scientist, Set To Become Harriet Tubman IB World School

                            The CPS Board of Education will vote Wednesday to finalize naming the school for Tubman. Louis Agassiz, the school's current namesake, is known for opposing interracial marriage and championing a theory used to defend slavery.
