The Confederacy must not even be mentioned now

We read:

"The Museum of the Confederacy will likely drop the word "Confederacy" from its name when it moves its collection to a new home....

The museum dates to Feb. 22, 1896, when The Confederate Museum opened in the former home of Confederate President Jefferson Davis.

The new name, Rawls said, would depend on the location of the museum. Lexington took a step closer to becoming that place last week when its City Council voted unanimously to enter into nonbinding talks with the Richmond institution.
