re: University of Alabama system to review all building names, remove Confederate Army plaques

I'm totally of the "losers of rebellions don't get memorials" caucus, and I agree that the language in that plaque is a bit Lost Causy, but some plaque to students (boys) who were prepared to defend their campus before being told to retreat with the historical account is completely in bounds. And I'd be dissapointed if they didn't replace it with such.

Honestly, I wish we had more plaques and historical markers across campus. Not cheerleading statues, historical markers. I used to try to find historical locations from war and civil rights events during undergraduate school and it was extremely difficult.

There are multiple cemeteries dating back to pre-1865 within a mile radius of campus that almost entirely unmarked (or were). I only know one because I was sent there as a pledge.
