โNegrohead Lakeโ is a name that still exists: Local leaders, NAACP call for name change in Baytown
BAYTOWN, Texas โ Texas Rep. Al Green joined the NAACP Houston Branch and several of Houstonโs elected officials in convening a press conference to demand the racially, insensitively named โNegrohead Lakeโ be renamed โLake Henry Doyleโ Monday morning. The Baytown lake, which was formerly named โNi**er Lakeโ before it was changed in 1962, has caused officials to stand firm against its name that has caused much offense over the years. Officials are asking lawmakers to move swiftly in the renaming of the lake as a way to come against racism and social inequality. Officials said the lake is one of 33 landmarks in Texas with similar offensive names. He ended up going to TSU, where he studied at Thurgood Marshall School of Law, Bledsoe continued.
INSTANT REACTION: Argyle Dominates From the Start to Claim No. 2
ARLINGTON - In typical Argyle fashion, the offense went to work right away as CJ Rogers threw a 44-yard dime on the game's first play, and then Offensive MVP Tito Byce finished off the drive. Lindale had no answer for the Argyle offense, which finished with the four most yards in a state title game at 571. On the flip side, Lindale had nothing going for it as the Argyle defense held the potent Lindale rushing attack to just 46 yards in the half. After Byce got his in the first half, Rogers went to work in the second half, throwing three touchdowns to keep the game well in hand. And after the final gun and the Gatorade bath, the biggest sigh of relieve came out of coach Todd Rogers.
