A plaque dedicated to the Ku Klux Klan at the West Point military academy has come under fire by a congressional panel dedicated to identifying and advising on the removal and renaming of Confederate-affiliated statues or buildings under the Department of Defense.
The bronze mounted marker bearing the words "Ku Klux Klan" below a hooded figure appears as one piece of a triptych at the entrance of a building on campus. The marker falls outside the task of the Naming Commission, since it is focused on Confederacy-related matters.
However, the group said there are "clearly" ties in the KKK to the confederacy and advised the Department of Defense to consider creating a process to remove such memorials."
