Wheeler and Lee schools may be named after civic leaders, not Confederate generals

I write this as a history author who has written seven books about our city's past, interviewed dozens of individuals who were a part of our history , and delved into a wide array of books, archives and documents. The Oklahoma City Public School system may be about to spend $100,000 to rename Wheeler Elementary and Lee Elementary based on unsourced claims on the schools' websites that they were named after Confederate Generals Joseph Wheeler and Robert E. Lee.
