Naval Academy Removes Confederate Name From Campus Building, Replaces It With Dem President

The U.S. Navy has changed the name of a Naval Academy campus building that formerly held the name of a Confederate leader to honor former Democratic President Jimmy Carter.

The Naval Academy building initially honored Matthew Fontaine Maury, an oceanography trailblazer also known as “pathfinder of the seas” who “resigned his U.S. commission” to join Confederate Naval forces, Navy Times reported. Now, the building will bear the name “Carter Hall” after the 39th President of the United States, Jimmy Carter.

The building was named in 1915, along with two other fixtures, which were named for Franklin Buchanan, the academy’s first superintendent who later rose through through ranks of the Confederacy to become an admiral.

The freshly-dubbed Carter Hall is home to the academy’s “systems and weapons engineering department,” according to the outlet.
