The World War II Pearl Harbor hero Doris “Dorie” Miller (1919-1943), the first African American to be awarded the Navy Cross for valor, was honored last this year by the U.S. Navy with an aircraft carrier named for him.

Locals know the name of Miller well as Ennis has had a school named for him since the 1950s. During segregation, the Black community’s school was first named in his honor and when a new Ennis ISD intermediate school was built over a decade ago, the school board approved the hero’s name for that facility located on Lampasas St.
