Death and Numbers

The Afterlife of Confederate Statues


Listen Later

The long debate over what to do with UT’s Confederate statues seems to have finally come to an end -- mostly. But as UT is finding, once the statues come down, the story isn’t over. Instead, there’s a whole new set of questions: what should be done with those statues? Where do they belong, how do we make sense of their value, and what can they tell us about the past? And, what should happen with the spaces where they used to stand?
