Rename the Woodrow Wilson Bridge

Rename the bridge to Harriet Tubman. I think the bridge should be known as the Tubman Bridge due to the close proximity of her birth to the bridge and also her underground railroad that went through the states where the bridge is located.

Why is this important?

Woodrow Wilson was a known racist and xenophobe. He should not be praised as a great leader of the United States, he was the first to show a racist KKK movie in the White House. He also resegregated of multiple agencies within the Federal government. Wilson was also a confederate sympathizer and defender of the KKK.
