The October 22nd Miami Herald reports that the Duval County School Boardwill vote November 3rd on whether or not to rename Nathan Bedford Forrest High School in Jacksonville, Florida.
There have been several years of criticism from groups and a push for it to be renamed. Last year, an advisory boarded voted 8-6 to rename it.
The article closed with this, "Forrest was a 19th century slave trader and planter who rose through the Confederate armyranks to lieutenant general and later became the first Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan."
Any bets as to the name change? Especially after that last bit.
