(CBN News) A Washington, DC committee formed by the mayor has recommended changing the names of schools and government buildings and has even called for the federal government to “remove, relocate or contextualize” a group of federal memorials and monuments, including the Washington Monument, the Jefferson Memorial, and the Benjamin Franklin Statue.
The DCFaces report found that the Working Group’s research showed that more than 70 percent of the monuments named in the District are named for white men, many of whom were not District residents.
