What's in a name? A Wisconsin birding organization puts it to the test
Last week, the Madison chapter of the Audubon Society announced that they will now be known as Badgerland Bird Alliance. The new name is the result of months of discussion after concerns were raised about the organization’s namesake, John James Audubon, who enslaved Black people and opposed emancipation. We learn more about the process of selecting this new name and what it means when an organization rebrands to disavow racist legacies and be more inclusive.
