CC drops CSA's Davis from campus

Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College will no longer honor the Confederate States of America President Jefferson Davis with his name on its Gulfport campus. On July 22, the Board of Trustees voted to change the name to the Harrison County campus. The change is part of a new strategic plan called Excelerate 2030, according to public information coordinator Kathy McAdams. In June, a former teacher at the campus launched a petition to rename the campus. The decision comes as people around the country have called for the removal of symbols and names honoring the confederacy and segregationists.
