Ty Seidule and Connor Williams tell the story behind the initially successful, then discontinued effort to rename US military bases that once honored Confederate leaders. Through the lives of ten American heroes selected for the new base names, A Promise Delivered explores military service, citizenship, and the continuing struggle to align national symbols with democratic ideals.
