This beautiful bird is regrettably saddled with the name of the man credited with identifying him… a name with an apostrophe s… as though no one else ever knew this bird and that by “discovering” this fine fellow the man now owns him. So let’s not call this happy singer by some name of ownership. He is an artist in his own right, Black Cap Jazz Singer. (Chignik Lake, Alaska, August 2018)

Every being has the right to a dignified name. Every human has the right to choose a name and an identity for himself, herself, themself. JD
