Today in America, we are witnessing a deeply threatening resurgence in open white supremacist ideologies. From the Trump Administration’s response to neo-Nazis in Charlottesville, to attempts to re-write history and draw a moral equivalency between Confederate and Union principles, long-standing symbols of our Confederate past stand at the center of a contentious battle on the definitions of heritage and hate. Who controls the histories we tell? How do we reconcile these understandings of the American experience? And what can you do to counter racism, and pivot this moment towards a lasting truth and reconciliation with our past?
