But history isn t always comfortable. Contemporary values rarely resemble those of the past, and after a few hundred years of social change, prominent historic figures and the ideas they represent come to be viewed by some as antiquated, unethical, or in some cases, offensive.
Last summer, the U.S. was faced with a racial reckoning. Following the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police officers, protests around the country led to calls to remove several Confederate monuments. ....
