Fort Hood Becomes Fort Hobby? Tennessee, Wilmington, N.C., Arkansas and Texas

AUGUST 25, 2020


**  Collierville residents, other, ask board to remove Confederate marker   in square.  (Tennessee)

**  Plenty of theories, few answers as to why Pine Valley's streets have Confederate names.  (Wilmington, N.C.)

**  Task force to decide future of Confederate monument in Cleveland.  (Tennessee.  Guess how this one will turn out?)

**  Letter:  Confederate flag illustrates the 'evil power of symbol.'

**  Board backs name change for Fort Smith school.  (Arkansas)

**  Fort Hood:  Historians push to rename Fort Hood after Killeen trailblazer.  (Texas.  Oveta Culp Hobby, a white woman, who was first director of Women's Army Corps in WW II.  I could go along with this.)

I'd Back Any Fort Renamed for Anyone Who Is Not Black Except Colin Powell and Jackie Robinson.  I'd be okay with forts named after these two deserving men.  --Old Secesh
