SUNDAY
From the removal of a statue of King George III in New York in 1776 to today’s removal of Confederate statues and monuments, the United States has had a long history of “reckoning” with memorials, monuments, and other forms of public art deemed oppressive, shameful, hateful, or simply “out of sync” with present day values and ideals. Erika Doss, professor of American studies at the University of Notre Dame, traces how, why, and when Americans target public art, and the dilemmas of dissent and historical accountability in public culture.
