The Second Civil War: Lt. John Fox, Virginia of Course and Monument Avenue

JULY 28, 2020


**  Here's an idea:  Rename one of the bases named after a Confederate general for Lt. John Fox.  (A deserving name for an Army base.  But, please, when renaming Army bases, do not rename one for a black person for at least five years.  The wounds are still too deep.  Also, let the people who want bases renamed, pay for the costs of renaming.

Lt. John Fox would be a good name for a base, just not right away.  I wrote about him in my Tattooed On Your Soul: World War II blog.)

**  Petition hopes to remove Confederate statue outside  Halifax Co. courthouse.  (Virginia.  Photos of it do not appear to have BLM trappings.

I noticed that all the monuments taken down in Virginia still had all the obscenities and BLM markings on them.  They should have been cleaned before dismantling.)
