John,

The US Navy had plans to name an aircraft carrier in honor of Black war hero Doris Miller—an enlisted sailor who helped defend US forces during the attack on Pearl Harbor. It would have marked the first time a carrier would be named after an African American.

But now, CNN is reporting that the Navy is considering renaming what would have been USS Dorris Miller after President Donald Trump instead.

From removing or altering portraits of former President Obama and other cultural imagery throughout federal buildings, to Trump’s explicit attacks on the Smithsonian, to renaming the USS Doris Miller, it’s all part of the same anti-Black, Project 2025 agenda.

The through line is clear: this administration is not simply changing what appears on the walls of federal buildings or on the hull of our military’s ships; it is actively attempting to reshape how Americans understand our history, whose stories are recognized, and whose contributions are remembered.

Black troops have fought in every major U.S. war while facing discrimination in uniform and at home. The military was formally desegregated in 1948, but Black officers have continually had to fight for the chance to lead. It is past time they were formally recognized for their service to our country.

Sign on to speak out against the renaming of the USS Doris Miller!
