These are media headlines.

** Senate bill to purge Confederate names from U.S. military could affect two Navy ships. (The guided missile cruiser USS Chancellorsville (CG-62) and oceanographic survey ship USNS Maury (T-AGS-66). The Chancellorsville is names after am 1863 Confederate victory and the Maury after Matthew Fontaine Maury who served in the Confederate Navy.)
** Ban Confederate flags and rename military bases. It's basic respect for our black troops.
** Confederate names would be stripped from Pentagon facilities under Senate measure. (Besides bases, street and building names at bases.)
** 'Watershed Moment': Will removal of Confederate monuments lead to lasting change in Alabama?

** Weekend Read: It's time for entire U.S. military to ban Confederate symbols. (There's a real big surprise. Imagine the good folks at the SPLC, Southern Poverty Law Center saying something like this?)
** A black man now heads the Air Force. It's progress, but military brass remains starkly white.
