other efforts to wipe them out, and yet that gets turned around. to you and then the professor, how is that important with this sort of white grievance culture that we re seeing in some right wing politics? well, it s extremely important because, first of all, we have to recognize, you know, we have to become a pluralistic democracy to be successful. we all do better when we ban together and work on solving shared problems, whether it s child care, affordable housing, the environment, these are shared problems. but what this kind of becomes, and one of the scariest things for me coming out of the violence of charlottesville, was a poll that was conducted afterwards, where 31% of those polled said that they believed that white european culture and identity needed to be protected and preserved. 31%. while that is not a majority, it
e. lee statue, it is set to come down any minute now imminently we expect those crews, here from another angle there you see crews are getting ready to attach some sort of equipment to this statue that has been standing there in the center of charlottesville for nearly a century. it is 26 feet tall, but it might be coming down today after a whole lot of controversy, after protests and a lot of court decisions. there s an america we build and one we explore. one that s been paved and one that s forever wild. but freedom means you don t have to choose just one adventure. you get both. introducing the wildly civilized all-new 3-row jeep grand cherokee l
as a teenager, a student activist and the mayor speaking. we heard her say it is important to teach and espouse accurate history even when it denounces whiteness as not supreme. as she was speaking we were monitoring the live pictures that you are seeing in the middle of your screen, that statue there of robert e. lee who has been the center of so much controversy resulting in death over the years there in the center of charlottesville. that 26-foot-tall monument to robert e. lee expect to come down sometime today, perhaps within the next hour. along with the statue of stonewall jackson. still remains to be seen what will become of these statues, they won t be destroyed. right now the city is reviewing ten different offers from different organizations that might be interested in taking ownership of the statues. we will continue to keep an eye on all of that as it plays out there in charlottesville. we have a lot more to come, including the one last physical reminder of the vi
