[EXCERPT: "There is a danger in the rush to remove these statues. To excise history is to risk being punished by it...The statues now being upended tell a story, after all. Not the story they were erected to propagate — of Confederate valor — but of an attempt in defeat to mask the terrible “great truth” of the Confederacy and by so doing extend for many decades the subjugation and humiliation of American blacks. The statues are part of American history; consigning them to oblivion does not help. They should be gathered in museums, or a museum, where their lesson can be taught and debated.” ]
The Problem With Confederate Monuments. The Atlantic. 13 August 2017. (2:04 min.)— https://youtu.be/C3hrUU7dgus
The Atlantic (YouTube Channel)— Towns across the American south are reckoning with whether or not to tear down Confederate statues in public spaces. For New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu*, taking down the monuments felt like a necessity, despite the tension it brought forth in his city. “I didn’t start the problems with race in this country, but I did force the people of New Orleans to confront them,” Landrieu reflected in in this short interview at the 2017 Aspen Ideas Festival.
