Renaming Lee Davis Highschool


Renaming Lee Davis Highschool
The Issue
This school, named after confederate president Jefferson Davis and confederate general Robert E. Lee, is disgraceful and dishonorable. There is no heritage in the name of this school. Since 1959 this school has projected and inserted institutionalized racism into the minds and hearts of its students. I’m calling for the renaming of this institution so that my generation as well as those of the future do not have to tolerate the insensitive, demeaning, and offensive nature of going to a school with this name. For years the Hanover county school board has neglected to rename this school and has grown a sense of complacency in doing such. No. More.
