In this episode, we talk about the complicated, controversial issue of tearing down statues. We discuss the lies in American history, the confederate flag, white supremacy, being actively anti-racist, and more. Also, we dive deep into the power of language and symbolism in our daily lives that most of us don’t even notice.
