Dr. Ousmane Power-Greene - Pride or Prejudice?

Debates over monuments and memorials to the Confederacy often center on the uses of public space and the allocation of tax dollars, while the bigger question slips away: How should the United States—or any nation—confront acts of inhumanity perpetuated by the state? Or other questions, such as: Has the process of removing Confederate statues actually avoided addressing injustices and thus missed an opportunity to begin a process of healing? Power-Greene is a professor of American History at Clark Univiersity with a focus on African American internationalism and comparative social and political movements. From November 12, 2019
