A historical Black university is unshackling itself from remnants of the Jim Crow era.

Officials at Alabama State University have officially stripped the name of a proud Ku Klux Klan leader from a campus residence hall, reported The Associated Press.

The building on the Montgomery campus had featured the name of KKK member and former governor Bibb Graves since 1928.

The school hasn’t approved a new name for the building yet.

1. To offset the name of a KKK leader, how about someone from the Civil Rights movement?

Dr. King and Rosa Parks immediately come to mind, but those names may already be on other campus landmarks.

Another choice could be those 3 white Freedom Riders who were murdered. That could set an example for white students to join current movements like BLM. The job is nowhere close to being over.
