Fort Bragg, Named After a Confederate General, Debates Name Change

As tributes to the Confederacy continue to fall in cities across
the country, the city of Fort Bragg in Northern California, named
for a Confederate general, is considering a name change. Those in
favor of the change say the name is offensive and celebrates a
racist history. Opponents argue that history is important, good or
bad, and shouldn't be erased. Efforts to rename Fort Bragg gained
little traction in the past, but the city council plans to hear
public comment on the issue next week. We discuss the debate around
Fort Bragg and other controversies surrounding historic names.
