More likely than not, they're probably being glorified today for some pretty terrible stuff.

Pretty much every single person who lived before the 80's has views that would render them ineligible for public praise by the loud minority whom complain about these things.
In Victoria there was a (valid)strong attempt to change the names of many streets, and buildings named after settlers in the 1600's onwards. They tried to replace many with the names of ancient natives chiefs/figures on the west coast. But they ran into the same problem; most of these native figures committed genocide, or enslaved ethnic minorities, and committed severe war crimes against other native tribes in their own quests to dominate.
