No more racist Indian mascots


Massachusetts


Dedham High School
140 Whiting Avenue
Dedham, MA 02026
Mascot: Marauders


On May 5, 2007, The Dedham High School Boosters Club announced their decision to "permanently retire the school's logo,
an open-mouthed Native American face that has represented school athletics since the 1970s."
Students voted to keep the "Marauders" nickname and launched a design contest for a new "pirate" logo.

What follows is a collection of letters to the editor and news stories on the issue in Dedham.
