Ten US military bases (Fort Hood, Fort Bragg, etc.), are named for pro-slavery #Confederate Army Generals who fought to destroy America. Let's rename them. Here's a thread with worthy candidates to honor. @AP @JeffreyGoldberg @ClintSmithIII @atrupar @john_sipher #BlackLivesMatter 
African American Crispus Attucks was the first American to die for the #AmericanRevolution:
#HarrietTubman, slave rescuer and spy, US Civil War.
