Virtual Zoom Webinar
Recent protests over racial issues have rekindled efforts to rename the 10 U.S. Army bases that honor officers of the Confederate States Army, plus one named after a local plantation. Please join the Mershon Center for a virtual conversation about the background of the people for whom these bases are named, the Jim Crow-era politics that influenced their creation, and guidelines for selection of potential replacements.
