[quote=Anonymous]I'd have to change my own name. I'm married to a descendant of a confederate officer who owned slaves. We all agree that his ancestor'sbehavior was abhorrent, but does not define who we are today. The civil war was 150 years ago, and we've come a long way but still have work to do. There has been a renewed interest in civil war history recently which is bringing about awareness and activism, and that's a good thing. Public places andSchools especially should be named for heroes according to current standards. Fair fax was quite backwards thinking 50 years ago, but times have changed and Fairfax is no longer white and Southern. I have no problem if they decide to rename, but also recognize the impossibility of changing every name associated with the confederacy.[/quote]
