Description

Tightly focused on the construction of Confederate monuments between 1909 and 1924, the film explores why the statues were commissioned, built, and erected during this era; who was behind them; their explicit and implied meanings; and how they reflect the culture and politics of their era. Produced by The Memory Project, part of the University of Virginia's Karsh Institute of Democracy.
