The leader of a national veterans' civil rights group formed to protect Mexican Americans from discrimination has been added to a commission tasked with devising a plan to remove Confederate names, monuments and symbols from military bases and assets.

Lawrence Romo, national commander of the American GI Forum, was named to the bipartisan commission, which will ultimately decide the bases and other military assets whose names should be changed or any symbols, monuments, displays or other items commemorating the Confederacy that should be removed.

National defense legislation mandating the removals became law in January after Congress overrode a veto of the legislation by then-President Donald Trump.
