Hello Michael:
You had mentioned in this digest part of my reply to a fellow list member:

In a community not very far from where I live there is a even a public
elementary school named after Henry David Thoreau. The school is located
within or in the outskirts of the Town of Vienna, Virginia. I would not
be at all surprised to learn that there may be many other public schools
in the US named after this philosopher.
Also in the US there are many schools and public highways and government
buildings named after Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. We even celebrate a
national hoiday in his honor. The famous essay by Thoreau, written in 1849,
became a principle fountain of inspiration for the heroic civil-rights leader.
