Confederate Heritage and the Fracturing of American Identity
Join us for a thoughtful discussion of what Confederate symbols mean and why they are under attack. For over a century Confederate monuments and symbols were commemorated as part of a complex American national identity. Recent efforts by political and cultural elites to remove those symbols are shameful and ignorant actions which demonstrate that these leaders and their supporters envision an America bereft of its honor, character, and founding principles.
