On Monuments And Who Has Really Run A "Culture War," With Thanks To NNadir For the Link

This talk should be required viewing for every white American.

Jeffrey Robinson's theme: "... Who controls the past controls the future. If you control the narrative about what is true about our past, that narrative sets the mark for how we go forward in the future. If you control the truth about the past, then you have the path to the future. Who controls the present controls the past...People are listening...when we do not deal with the ugly part of the truth about our history, we have no chance of going forward in any productive way...Never underestimate the pull of the status quo"...

{edited to add:}

There was an article about this statue in Sunday's Washington Post. I linked to it when the statue was brought up in the lecture.
