** Naval Academy board chair calls for removal of Confederate names from buildings.
** US Navy joins Marines in removal of Confederate flag.
** Trump says he won't consider renaming military bases named for Confederate generals.
** KY senator wants to replace Confederate statue with one of first black Navy diver.
** Confederates toppled, Columbus beheaded: Protesters are ripping down controversial statues. (In other words, ones they don't like. And when they topple or behead they cross the line between protester to criminal.)
** Congress could force name change at bases honoring Confederate generals.
** NASCAR bans Confederate flag from all events, including races. (Hard to see the impact at this point since no spectators are allowed. However, hopefully those who like the flag will voice their feelings through nonattendance.)
** Historical figures reassessed after George Floyd's death.
** More than 2K sign petition to ban Confederate flag from Ebensburg-sanctioned events. (Pennsylvania)
