"seeking Justice" Live Radio Talk

I was pleased to host Harry Watson, Professor of History at UNC Chapel Hill and James Ward, Sons of Confederate Veterans to discuss the controversy surrounding the removal of "Silent Sam" or "Soldier Boy" statue. This monument was toppled by students and others on August 20, 2018. Harry, James & I discussed the depth of the controversy - stemming back to its deepest historical roots in slavery, The Civil War, Jim Crow Laws, Confederate and Southern Cultural history, and present feelings that this statue (as well as others) have stimulated in students and others.   We explored both sides of the issue in depth, including the options explored and being discussed as to how to best resolve the placement of "Silent Sam" also known as "Soldier Boy," which is his preferred title assignment by the UDC United Daughters of the Confederacy, that originated the statue's commission.
