Name Changes Reflect Change of Heart

From The Wall Street Journal:

Don’t Want Your School to Be Named for a Confederate General? Find Someone Else Named Lee

Schools honor others with surname to avoid costs of repainting or new signs

"The North East Independent School District in Texas was facing pressure to change the name of Robert E. Lee High School, amid national protests over the legacy of the Confederate general."

Now what could we do in Montgomery Alabama with Robert E. Lee High School?

There's also a Jeff Davis High School and Street (East & West) that stretches across Montgomery, just south of and parallel to I-85, which ironically was named for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1976.
 
Meanwhile, NPR Reported last Fall:

"Atlanta is changing the names of three streets that echo the city's Civil War past.
Confederate Avenue will become United Avenue, East Confederate Avenue will become United Avenue S.E. and Confederate Court will become Trestletree Court on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
"For our community to truly be One Atlanta, we must write a new chapter in our own history," Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms said in a statement after signing a bill ordering the name changes. "The imagery and symbolism of these names and monuments represent systematic injustice, persecution and cruelty. That is not who we are as a city."
The changes were recommended by an advisory committee established last fall to address Confederate iconography in Atlanta, the statement said."
