Rename Bibb Graves to John Lewis Hall

The Issue

Day in and day out, we as students walk the campus of Troy University and we are surrounded by multiple reminders of our oppressors. Bibb Graves Hall is on of the largest reminders of the times where -African Americans were seen as inferior. Recently John Lewis has passed away, he has held a foothold in the state of Alabama. What better way to honor this phenomenal man than naming one our most prized educational institutions after this amazing civil rights activist!!!
