Lawmakers Leverage Defense Bill To Address Police Reform, Racial Injustice

Fort Bragg in Fayetteville, North Carolina is one of the ten U.S. Army bases named after Confederate military leaders. Congress is considering legislation to change those names as part of the national movement to address racial discrimination.

Congress will vote next week on the annual defense bill. After failing to pass police reform, some lawmakers see a chance to revive the debate about discrimination, but a presidential veto looms.
