in fact, he was in memphis where he was assassinated to march with the striking sanitation workers there, as we have been reminded by the 50th anniversary just last month. so, continuing the tradition today of ashley would include job production and wage increases for low-wage workers who are still disproportionately people of color, and raising the minimum wage for the same reason. last year, the united states erupted into controversy over monuments of the southern confederate rebellion. ashley hated those monuments that were erected before his death in 1893. in his draft memoir, he spoke viciously about them, claiming they were whitewashing slavery, claiming all those monuments should also have a statue of a slave in chains, or a slave running away from the slave catchers to accompany it. ,here is no monument to ashley although the toledo federal courthouse is now named for him, and his grandson who represented toledo in congress. and ashley is largely overlooked by constitutional scholars. historians, of course, of this era, know who ashley is an write about them, but they are stymied
