Movement Continues to Change the Name of Stonewall Jackson Middle School

A push to remove Confederate Gen. Stonewall Jackson’s name from a Charleston middle school is growing. Those who support changing the name of Stonewall Jackson Middle School marched at the Kanawha County Board of Education on Saturday. The school’s student body is 42% African American, which is the highest proportion among public middle schools, according to the West Virginia Department of Education. The school board is set to discuss the issue on July 6.
