Robert E. Lee. Days earlier, board member Connie Bernard defended Lee falsely claiming that he was responsible for freeing enslaved people. Bernard was caught shopping on her laptop during the hearing. Robert E. Lee owned 189 enslaved people and fought in court to indefinitely postpone their emancipation, which the courts denied. As a general for the Confederacy, Lee was a traitor who took up arms against the U.S. All of the school board members, including Connie Bernard, voted to approve renaming Lee High School. #school #activist #News #NowThis #NowThisNews Connect with NowThis » Like us on Facebook: http://go.nowth.is/News_Facebook » Tweet us on Twitter: http://go.nowth.is/News_Twitter » Follow us on Instagram: http://go.nowth.is/News_Instagram » Find us on Snapchat Discover: http://go.nowth.is/News_Snapchat NowThis is your premier news outlet providing you with all the videos you need to stay up to date on all the latest in trending news.
