US Army Renames Fort Bragg 'Fort Liberty' as Part of Effort to Remove Confederate Names

Fort Bragg in North Carolina was renamed Fort Liberty on Friday as part of the US military's initiative to rename bases named for Confederate leaders.
The name change will cost $8 million and take until 2024 to fully implement.
Fort Polk in Louisiana will be renamed Fort Johnson on June 13.
The renaming comes after calls to remove Confederate memorials intensified following the death of George Floyd.
The new names were chosen to honor American values and noteworthy service members.
