Team — The Marines have officially ordered the removal of all Confederate symbols and flags in public areas.
Today, we’re renewing our calls for the Army, Navy, and Air Force to do the same and requesting the Army rename 10 bases that bear the name of Confederate generals.
This isn’t about history — it’s about keeping symbols of hate out of our nation’s military. Soldiers of the Confederacy have a place in books, museums, and other educational centers that can properly teach – not honor – what they fought a war against the United States of America for.
Confederate symbols, statutes, and military bases named after Confederate generals serve no purpose but to encourage white supremacists and perpetuate racism.
