NAACP slams Navy’s reported talks to swap war hero’s name on carrier with Trump’s

The NAACP is up in arms over reports that the Navy is contemplating renaming the USS Doris Miller, an aircraft carrier honoring a distinguished Black WWII hero, to instead bear President Trump's name. NAACP President Derrick Johnson criticized the idea as deeply offensive, calling it "a slap in the face to the legacy of heroism and sacrifice." This move, if real, would not only erase the memory of Doris Miller but also stir significant racial and historical tensions, highlighting the ongoing struggle for racial equality and respect for historical figures.
