And, this one includes names of women.  Like I said, worth a read.

**  Bastrap cemetery board punts decision on Confederate monuments relocation.  (Texas   Bastrap has two Confederate monuments and both might be removed from the courthouse grounds. Fairview Cemetery might be the new location of one of the monuments.)

Lee High School renamed for Civil Rights leader John Lewis who just recently died.  I am in favor of this if the majority of the students are Black.  I came across the number 80% minority at the school, so this was a correct call.

That Would Sure Be a Bit of Irony for the N.Y. Times If That Is True About Their Former Owners.  --Old Secesh
