On The Renaming Of Lee Street And High Point Road
Why has the City of Greensboro and Guilford County buried the records on the real history of the naming of Lee Street which predates its annexation into the City of Greensboro? Is it because Lee Street WAS NOT named after Robert E Lee as everyone assumes it was? I have personally contacted the Greensboro Historical Museum, Guilford County and Bennet College who once owned part of what is now Lee Street (Lee Street dead ended into the Bennet College campus prior to 1870) and none of them will return my calls or e-mails.
