【 摘 要 】

In this illustrated lecture, Kirk Savage addresses how monuments "bearing the impress of white supremacy" participate in historical erasure. What happens when societies decide that memorialized landscapes and objects are outmoded or offensive? How to determine which monuments necessitate removal? Acknowledging no easy solutions, Savage clarifies what is at stake when citizens call for revisions to the memorial scene. In accompanying videos, political scientist Andra Gillespie and Daniel A. Pollock respond to Savage's lecture and explore how structural problems, racial politics, and notions of freedom influence memorialization.
