Fort Robert E. Lee Renamed to Honor Buffalo Soldier

Black excellence begets Black joy, you love to see it. Buried in Trump & Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth signaling and dog whistling to their Confederate loving base is the fact that the Fort named after Confederate General Robert E. Lee will now honor a Buffalo Soldier Pvt. Fitz Lee. Thats right as in Black soldier. As in Bob Marley Buffalo soldier. Cue the Ancestors. Amid President Donald Trump’s plans to revert the designations of seven Army installations previously named for Confederate fighters to their old names, albeit new namesakes, comes the Army’s announcement that Fort Lee in Virginia will become the first base to be named after a Buffalo Soldier. Fort Lee — initially named after the Confederate general Robert E. Lee — was briefly changed to Fort Gregg-Adams under President Joe Biden’s administration in its efforts to remove any connection to the Confederacy from current military bases. Following the recommendations of a special committee, Fort Lee was renamed Fort Gregg-Adams to honor Lt. Gen. Arthur Gregg and Lt. Col. Charity Adams. Both joined the Army prior to its desegregation, with Gregg rising to become the Deputy Chief of Staff for Logistics for the Army while Adams commanded the 6888th Central Postal Directory during the Second World War. Now that is Black excellence. It was the first Army base in U.S. history to be named for Black Americans. However, under Trump, the fort will yet again be the home of another milestone. It will be renamed for Pvt. Fitz Lee, a Buffalo soldier who received the Medal of Honor for his actions during the Spanish-American War. Cue the Black joy. #blackhistory #blackexcellence #militaryhistory #blackjoy #buffalosoldier #civilwar Join this channel to really set it off:    / @reesewaters   PATREON: Patreon.com/ReeseWaters Support the Channel 🙏🏽 MERCH SHOP: reesewaters.com/shop Venmo: https://venmo.com/u/ReeseWaters Cashapp: $ReeseWatersTips Paypal: @ReeseWatersTips Follow Me on Social 👏🏽 #reesewaters Twitter:   / reesewaters   Instagram:   / @reesewaters   Email: admin@reesewaters.com
