(355 posts)Those names came from their grandfather, Jefferson Lee, who was named after Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee. My husband put this together while doing some research into the family tree and while wondering around a cemetery, where he found a confederate marker on his ancestor's grave that was placed there by the daughters of the confederacy.
It was not a good time and it literally caused him emotional distress. He was horrified.

They should hang their heads in shame, seek honest atonement, then strive to build a better more inclusive society where we all enjoy dignity and respect no matter what ones ancestry or tone/shade/color of ones skin.
