AV History Lesson: Confederate Statues

Sinopsis

It's a highly charged issue - are Confederate statues an homage to history or a racist reminder of the mistreatment of Blacks in this country? Many Confederate monuments have been removed from their public places, but there is much discussion about where to put them. Do they belong in museums? Should they be destroyed? Do we erase history by removing them from the "public square"? We gain perspective from historian Christy S. Coleman, Executive Director of the Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation, and Dr. Arthur T. Carter, who is working on what may be an inclusive way to honor the heritage of both Confederate and Union soldiers.
