Naval Academy building renamed in honor of Jimmy Carter
https://archive.ph/M0ZEa#selection-1907.0-1907.55The U.S. Navy has renamed a building at the Naval Academy to honor former President Jimmy Carter.
Maury Hall has been renamed Carter Hall, according to a news release on Friday. Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro said this followed a vote by Congress to identify and remove names connected to the Confederacy from U.S. military facilities.
Carter family members attended the renaming ceremony.
Carters grandson, Josh Carter, said, It would be impossible to overstate what this Academy and the Navy has meant to my grandfather, and by extension to my family. It was life on the farm that gave my grandfather his work ethic and his ability to enjoy getting up at 5:30 every morning. But it was this school that taught him discipline, the value of expertise, and the importance of service. It is my hope that every student that comes through this great hall will learn the same foundational values that my grandfather learned here and through his career in the Navy.
