There are named after famous generals and former presidents like Eisenhower and Grant. There's a MacArthur Barracks and many others. And of course, there's a Robert E. Lee barracks.

Lee barracks, which I found fascinating because here I am living in the building named after a man who fought against the rights of people who looked like me. Fought against the rights of my great, great grandfather. I would walk under that threshold every day with a smile on my face, thinking to myself, this is one hell of a school, one hell of a country.
