We don't need to honor the man's beliefs. They were different times. People are often products of their parents beliefs. Yes, prejudiced is an ugly thing.
We are honoring his accomplishments which led to wireless communications.
Often the brightest men are ignorant of social interactions and understanding of simple or obvious (to us) respect of cultures.

Morse code is no longer used by ships to talk to each other, of course, but it remains a handy skill to have. After all, if you are ever held hostage you be unable to use the internet to communicate with fellow captives in other rooms, but Morse code tapped on to a heating pipe will convey your messages – assuming that the other person understands it, too. So get learning! It's actually surprisingly easy to master.

Let's not forget Morse's long-time assistant and major contributor Alfred Vale, who, under the direction of Morse, sent the first trans-Atlantic morse code message from an old barn in Morris Plains, NJ. The barn is largely unnoticed by the residents, although it stands across the street from the Alfred Vale Elementary School. I would be willing to bet that none of the teachers in the school know who Alfred Vale was…..he at least deserves honorable mention if we are to mention Jackson.
