Yep I 100% agree here. I'm not even saying change the names, although I think they were likely given those names as confederate pride was likely a staple of Harrisonburg in 1908. I believe Wilson was the president in the year the building was built.

The peak of confederate monuments being erected was in two separate periods predominantly. Around 1900, when Jim Crow laws were being pushed throughout the south and in the 1950s and 60s during the civil rights movements. Those weren't coincidences.
