Fort Lee Renamed to Honor Black Army Pioneers.
Fort Lee, a U.S. Army garrison in Virginia named after Confederate leader Robert E. Lee, will be renamed Fort Gregg-Adams after two pioneering Black Army officers, Lt. Gen. Arthur Gregg and Lt. Col. Charity Adams. Gregg was the first African American to achieve the rank of lieutenant general, while Adams was the highest-ranking Black woman of World War II. The renaming ceremony is part of the Pentagon's effort to remove names, symbols, or displays that commemorate the Confederacy from military bases.
