Ok, from Pravda in the Democratic People's Enclave of Madison, comes this (https://madison.com/wsj/news/local/education/university/uw-madison-moves-forward-on-plan-to-move-70-ton-boulder-seen-as-symbol-of/article_d024d9a7-c143-5a91-8165-b8ac521d1dc6.html#tracking-source=home-trending).
UW-Madison is moving forward on a plan to remove a boulder from Observatory Hill after calls from students of color who see the rock as a painful reminder of the history of racism on campus.
The 70-ton boulder is officially known as Chamberlin Rock in honor of Thomas Crowder Chamberlin, a geologist and former university president. But the rock was referred to at least once after it was dug out of the hill as a “niggerhead,” a commonly used expression in the 1920s to describe any large dark rock.
Since we don't have all the miners in Josey Wales around with their sledges, how would some real-and-fer-certain 18C's solve this problem?
How much FOOM?
