Over the past few years hundreds of Civil War monuments commemorating the Confederacy have been removed throughout the country. While the nation remains divided over this issue, few people are aware of the history surrounding these monuments and what they tell us about how Americans have remembered the Civil War era. This talk will help attendees better understand why 100 years later these monuments remain controversial.
Presented by Kevin M. Levin, historian, educator, and author
