I'm all for renaming the Bell building at NTID. I've always thought that his name didn't belong on a signing campus. The building should have been named after a person who did a lot for the Deaf Culture.

A partial list comes to mind:
Hearing: Stokes, Lane
Deaf: Paddy Lane, Bernard Bragg, Dummy Hoy, Deaf Smith, Larent Clerc.. etc..
