SEPTEMBER 18, 2020
** More than 240 schools in the U.S. named after a Confederate leader. About half serve majority black or nonwhite students. (Most, of course, in the former Confederate states. Many were named while student populations in the 50s and 60s were growing and named as a stance against Civil Rights.
I agree that all schools named after Confederate in the 50s to the present should have the names changed. Also, if the majority of the students are not white, the name should be changed. However, the decision should always be left up to the students or parents in these schools.)
** Fairfax County votes to remove marker of Confederate death. (Virginia)
** Petition presented seeking removal of the Confederate statue from court house grounds on Jackson Square. (Jackson, Georgia)
** University of Alabama considering removal of Confederate name. (John Tyler Morgan, Confederate general and later, U.S. senator.)
** Calloway County attorney: Fiscal court has authority to remove Confederate statue. (Murray, Kentucky)
** Texarkana activists continue efforts to remove Confederate statue. (Texas. Statue to Confederate mothers.)
