Not something that is likely to happen but anyone who proposed such a thing would be labelled a racist and pilloried by every liberal group in existence so in order to be fair we should apply the same treatment to those who oppose honoring Robt. E. Lee.
Blacks Object To Robert E. Lee Honor
Once again an attempt is made to obliterate any honorable mention of Southern history:
"A Hillsborough County proclamation honoring Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee has angered some black leaders. "That's a slap in the face to every African-American, Hispanic, and every minority in the county," said Curtis Stokes, president of the Hillsborough chapter of the NAACP....
Commission Chairman Jim Norman read the "Year of Lee" proclamation Thursday as members of the Sons of Confederate Veterans and the United Daughters of the Confederacy stood in front of the commission dais.

That Lee was a man of great brilliance and personal integrity must not be mentioned, of course.
