Fort Lee renamed to honor pioneering Black Army veterans.
Fort Lee, a U.S. Army post named after the leader of the Confederate army during the Civil War, has been renamed Fort Gregg-Adams in honor of two Black U.S. Army trailblazers during a redesignation ceremony. The post was renamed in recognition of Lt. Gen. Arthur Gregg and Lt. Col. Charity Adams, who were both exceptional leaders and pioneers in the Army. The renaming is part of the Army's mission to remove displays commemorating the Confederacy.
