On Confederate Statues in America: Connor Towne O’Neill
Wednesday, December 9 from 7:00 to 8:30 pm
Can America overcome the generational effects of 400 years of slavery when monuments honoring Confederate generals and slave traders still stand? That’s the central question in Connor Towne O’Neill‘s new book, Down Along with That Devil’s Bones: A Reckoning with Monuments, Memory, and the Legacy of White Supremacy. O’Neill takes a deep dive in heated conflicts over the attempts to remove monuments to notorious Confederate general Nathan Bedford Forrest and uses these still-raging battles as a lens to examine the legacy of white supremacy in America.
