"How do you rename things named after confederate soldiers/leaders?"


          

Taking down statues and monuments is a NO BRAINIER - do it. Changing the name on buildings too.

But for the life of me I can't figure out logistically how you'd do some of it without spending a TON of money or time and how you could do it smoothly.

Example: For Bragg has around 30,000 people on it. How do you change all the printed forms, the street signs, the mail system, etc?

Louisiana has Jefferson Davis Parish, Allen Parish and Beauregard Parish - that's like 100,000 people. Same issue, think of the tax record, etc. Not to mention voter registration bullshit that people would try to exploit to suppress voters.

Even think of websites that use address verification - those would all have to be updated - and if they weren't updated at the same time then logistically things get harder to manage.


Edit:I just looked up other counties/parishes in the US:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._counties_named_after_prominent_Confederate_historical_figures and it's HUGE.

I say we DO IT. I'm ll for it. But what are the steps?
