I think it would be appropriate that history stand so that the people can learn from it and make a determination as to how to proceed.You think it would be appropriate for Germany to have military bases honoring Hitlers and Goerring? No. We can learn history from books and museums. Statues and naming military bases after war criminals, traitors, and slave owners was and still is intended to honor them, not educate about them. A black female soldier should not be forced to go through basic training on a base named after a man who would have viewed her as property- raped her at will, whipped her for disobedience, sold her children at auction. That’s what the Confederacy stood for and if you chose to honor that you just might be a racist.
