Why doesn’t Congress rename Sheila Jackson Lee?
Lee deserves honor because he could have taken his Army in to the woods and become a partisan, but he put the Country first and surrendered honorably, then worked to bring about peace.
Very soon, even Orwell will be wiped away.
What Lee after Robert’s generation was world-renowned, or at least nationally renowned?
Lets guess folks, renaming all people of color
Bruce?
It’s easy.
Find maps of earlier eras. If that street existed (including re-alignments), does it have that name?
LOL
And using the worst blacks to name it after. Including those who push the narrative and only concerned themselves with black grievances. Yes, I mean people in the very old days.
I feel traumatized.. now i might feel a little better ..for a few months.. if the government would give me 5 million dollars.
?
Indeed. Robert Lee was a great man, no matter what the haters of all sides want to say.
How about naming one of those streets Ronald Reagan Blvd and another Donald Trump Blvd? 🤓
Cool, they keep re-writing history, there will no longer be a slavery problem in the USA’s past. And when that goes, so do BLM, and a host of other Black race baiting ... Al Sharpton will be flipping burgers.
“Too bad, that the Lees were a VERY prominent family of VA long before Robert Lee led the Confederacy, and basically ended the fame of the name.”
Perhaps I misunderstand what you have said. I interpret your comment to mean that General Lee ended the fame of the Lee family name.
General Lee did nothing to tarnish his name, his children’s names, or his ancestor’s names. The Lee name is, and will continue to be, famous as long as there are those that love the American tradition.
Not surprisingly, no subsequent member of the Lee family has surpassed, or equaled, the name of Robert E. Lee.
To borrow from Daniel Webster (in another context): “Miracles do not cluster and what has happened once in 6,000 years, may not happen again.”
Yes, you misinterpreted. I am not at all bashing Robert.
The point was the Lees were a very prominent colonial and founding family, and then there was Robert, and then….no one of any real repute.
Even the Adams can claim more fame after John Quincy. The Lees seemed to stop being of high importance.
