b*****d 发帖数: 61690 | 1 In the wake of violence at a protest against removing a Confederate monument
in Charlottesville, Va., last weekend, a New York Democrat has announced
plans to introduce a bill that would force the Defense Department to rename
any military installation or other property named after those who fought for
or supported the Confederacy during the Civil War.
Rep. Yvette Clarke (D-N.Y.) announced that she plans to introduce the bill
during a pro forma session Friday.
Clarke has been fighting for the Army to rename two streets at Fort Hamilton
in Brooklyn that are named after Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee and Thomas
“Stonewall” Jackson.
Additionally, there are 10 military bases around the country named after
Confederate military members: Fort Lee, Fort Hood, Fort Benning, Fort Gordon
, Fort Bragg, Fort Polk, Fort Pickett, Fort A.P. Hill, Fort Rucker and Camp
Beauregard. | a********r 发帖数: 4013 | 2 以后都按Obama来命名,O8-1,O8-2,等 |
