Overview
The inspiring story behind the ten Americans newly chosen to represent United States military bases previously named for Confederate soldiers, told by two members of the Naming Commission that selected them.
In 2020, the United States Congress, in an unprecedented and bipartisan piece of legislation, created the Naming Commission. It was tasked with a monumental mission: Rename nine of the US military’s most prominent army bases–all of which were named for Confederate leaders who waged war against America in the name of maintaining a slave republic.
Over the course of twenty months, the commission completed their mission, carefully combing through years of American history and hearing from tens of thousands of Americans from all walks of life. The commission ultimately chose ten Americans whose individual heroics reflect the collective best of all that America is and could be. With their firsthand knowledge of the selection process, vice-chair Ty Seidule and lead historian Connor Williams recount the lives of each of these American heroes, from former President Dwight D. Eisenhower to Civil War doctor Mary Walker to Cold War General Richard Cavazos. The individual histories nestled within each chapter prove why these men and women are true representatives of our country and how, by looking to them, America can aspire toward a better future.
A collection of stirring tales of heroism, A Promise Delivered is the powerful account of how ten worthy Americans and one bipartisan commission joined the ongoing fight to reclaim our nation’s history.
