Lee dressed in his Confederate uniform is back on display in the West Point's library, several years after There also are plans to restore a bust of Lee that had been removed from a plaza at the U.S. Military Academy, and a quote from Lee about honor that was removed from a separate plaza is now on display beneath the portrait, an Army spokesperson said Tuesday.The items were removed to comply with a Department of Defense directive in 2022 that ordered the academy to address racial injustice and do away with installations that “commemorate or memorialize the Confederacy.The actions at West Point come as the Trump administration restores Confederate names and monuments that had been removed in recent years. “At West Point, the United States Military Academy is prepared to restore historical names, artifacts, and assets to their original form and place,” Rebecca Hodson, the Army’s communications director, said in a prepared statement. “Under this administration, we honor our history and learn from it — we don’t erase it.”in March titled “Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History” that decried efforts to reinterpret American history.
