Naturalist John Muir is one of the more interesting targets in 2020's historical reckonings. Though for years his "Father of the National Parks" legacy had mostly outweighed his shortcomings, in 2020 the Sierra Club condemned the early racist views of their founder. TBD whether Muir parks are renamed and statues removed.
