Cultural, Social ,Historical Value of Confederate Statutes...Reverence of White Supremacy/Hate or Dark History?
History is said to be written by the victors. But in the United States, there’s a peculiar veneration for the losers. Schools, highways, parks – there’s no shortage of public spaces named in honor of people who have ended up on the wrong side of history. Although many Americans recognize the immorality of historic colonialists, slave owners, and anti-abolitionists, some say these spaces should be preserved as reminders of the country's darker moments. Others view these structures as emblems of white supremacy, saying they glorify people who repressed the rights of others or fought in a bloody civil war to defend an indefensible institution. For them, such memorials only add insult to years of systemic injury. Read more here (http://mediadiversion.us8.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=308ffb4b0ec4119d2fab3f045&id=0c342c255a&e=932a6565cb).
