When it comes to Confederate monuments, there is no common ground. Polarizing debates over their meaning have intensified into legislative maneuvering to preserve the statues, legal battles to remove them, and rowdy crowds taking matters into their own hands. These conflicts have raged for well over a century—but they've never been as intense as they are today. In No Common Ground: Confederate Monuments and the Ongoing Fight for Racial Justice (UNC Press, 2021), Dr. Karen L. Cox offers an eye-opening narrative of the efforts to raise, preserve, protest, and remove Confederate monuments. Dr. Cox depicts what these statues meant to those who erected them and how a movement arose to force a reckoning. She shows the forces that drove white southerners to construct beacons of white supremacy, as well as the ways that anti-monument sentiment, largely stifled during the Jim Crow era, returned with the civil rights movement and gathered momentum in the decades after the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Monument defenders responded with gerrymandering and "heritage" laws intended to block efforts to remove these statues, but hard as they worked to preserve the Lost Cause vision of southern history, civil rights activists, Black elected officials, and movements of ordinary people fought harder to take the story back. Timely, accessible, and essential, No Common Ground is the story of the seemingly invincible stone sentinels that are just beginning to fall from their pedestals. Our guest is: Dr. Karen L. Cox, who is professor emeritus of history at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Her other books include Dreaming of Dixie: How the South Was Created in American Popular Culture and Dixie's Daughters: The United Daughters of the Confederacy and the Preservation of Confederate Culture. Our host is: Dr. Christina Gessler, who works as a developmental editor for scholars, and is the producer of the Academic Life podcast.

Kentucky Chronicles: A Podcast of the Kentucky Historical Society
Kentucky is known for having a lot of counties: 120 to be exact. At the center of each county stands the county courthouse, some slightly more elaborate than others. Most Kentuckians are familiar with these, as it is where they go to register their vehicles or obtain a marriage license. In Jessamine County, however, those who visit the courthouse in Nicholasville will likely be struck by a towering statue that stands on the courthouse lawn: a statue of a Confederate soldier. Join us today for a discussion with a former research fellow, who has created a podcast to explore the towering history of this Confederate monument. David Swartz is a Professor of History at Asbury University in Wilmore, Kentucky. Swartz received his M.A. and Ph.D. in American History from the University of Notre Dame. A historian of religion, he has published two books, Moral Minority: The Evangelical Left in an Age of Conservatism (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2012) and Facing West: American Evangelicals in an Age of Christianity (Oxford University Press, 2020). In the summer of 2024, Dr. Swartz was a Research Fellow at the Kentucky Historical Society, researching Civil War Memory in Jessamine County, Kentucky. That research informed the podcast, “Rebel on Main,” about a Confederate monument in Nicholasville. To learn more about the Confederate Monument and Civil War memory in Jessamine County, please listen to David's podcast, “Rebel on Main.” Also, be sure to visit David's website, rebelonmain.com, for more content connected to each episode, and for links to the preferred podcast streaming platforms. https://www.rebelonmain.com/ Shoutout to Dr. Sean Rost and the "Our Missouri" podcast, currently sharing episodes focused on the states that border Missouri. Listen here: https://shsmo.org/our-missouri Kentucky Chronicles is inspired by the work of researchers worldwide who have contributed to the scholarly journal, The Register of the Kentucky Historical Society, in publication since 1903. https://history.ky.gov/explore/catalog-research-tools/register-of-the-kentucky-historical-society Hosted by Dr. Daniel J. Burge, associate editor of The Register of the Kentucky Historical Society and coordinator of our Research Fellows program, which brings in researchers from across the world to conduct research in the rich archival holdings of the Kentucky Historical Society. https://history.ky.gov/khs-for-me/for-researchers/research-fellowships Kentucky Chronicles is presented by the Kentucky Historical Society, with support from the Kentucky Historical Society Foundation. https://history.ky.gov/about/khs-foundation This episode was recorded and produced by Gregory Hardison.

My guest today is the always interesting and funny Steve Clowney, a professor of law at the University of Arkansas. He has also worked as a legal consultant in Hawaii, a college admissions officer, and a gravedigger. His main areas of research include zoning regulations, monuments, the history of cities, handwritten wills, and the presence of violence in informal property systems.

In the past four years, a number of monuments honoring the Confederacy have been torn down or removed. As we have seen before, however, the activism behind this movement will not stop with just taking down Confederate symbols.Original article: The Battle of the Confederate Monuments

*This story has been updated to include a statement from the Sheriff. By Scotty T Reid - A developing story in Henderson, North Carolina, has stirred significant concern and skepticism within the community and beyond. Javion McGee, a 21-year-old truck driver from Chicago, was found hanging from a tree on September 11, 2024. While local authorities have ruled his death a suicide, McGee's family and a growing number of community members have voiced their doubts about this conclusion. McGee, who had recently obtained his commercial driver's license (CDL) and was at the start of his trucking career, was on a delivery route when his body was discovered. Many are questioning why a young man from Chicago would take his own life while on the job in a state far from home. His family is particularly suspicious of the claim that he bought the rope himself, and they are calling for a more thorough investigation, as detailed by his cousin, TikTok user @scottieprimpin, who has been actively pushing for justice. The Vance County Sheriff's Office is leading the investigation, while the Henderson Police Department clarified in a Facebook post that the incident occurred outside their jurisdiction. "I understand there's over 1,000 hits on TikTok (accusing) the sheriff's office of not being transparent, not providing information to the family, and that is not true," Vance County Sheriff Curtis R. Brame said. "There's been information put out there that there's a lynching. There is not a lynching. The young man was not dangling from a tree. He was not swinging from a tree. The rope was wrapped around his neck. It was not a noose. There was not a knot in the rope. So therefore, it was not a lynching here in Vance County." Brame told ABC Raleigh-Durham affiliate WTVD there were no signs of foul play in Magee's death, but he would not yet call it a suicide. Furthermore, local activist Amina Bastet Shabazz raised questions on Facebook, calling for more transparency from the authorities and pointing out that McGee's case has sparked concerns that echo North Carolina's dark history of racial violence. Henderson, once considered a "sundown town," has seen rising tension as people question whether McGee's death might be linked to historical patterns of racial injustice. Local groups, such as the Vance County NAACP, are also pressing for answers, emphasizing that a simple status update from the police is insufficient given the circumstances surrounding McGee's death. As this case unfolds, many are urging for more media attention and a deeper look into the broader systemic issues at play. Confederate Monuments and North Carolina's Racial Legacy This tragic case also brings to light North Carolina's complicated racial history, particularly the ongoing battle over Confederate monuments. In 2020, following the murder of George Floyd, North Carolina saw a surge in protests aimed at removing Confederate statues from public spaces. These protests were part of a larger nationwide movement to confront the symbols of racial oppression that have long marked the South. In many parts of North Carolina, Confederate monuments were erected during the height of Jim Crow, often accompanied by speeches promoting white supremacy and violence against African Americans. These monuments were not just memorials to the Civil War but symbols of ongoing racial terror. Keynote speeches at these dedications frequently contained calls to uphold racial segregation and even celebrated lynchings as a means of maintaining control over Black populations. The fight to remove these monuments has been met with fierce resistance from some local residents, but many activists argue that the removal of such symbols is crucial to dismantling the legacy of racism in the state. Henderson, where Javion McGee's death occurred, is no stranger to this struggle. While the town itself may not have been the epicenter of Confederate monument protests,

A crowd gathered at Decatur's historic square in Georgia on Saturday to witness the unveiling of a 12-foot-tall bronze statue of the late civil rights leader and Congressman John Lewis, replacing a Confederate monument dismantled in 2020. The event, attended by neighbors, politicians, and civil rights leaders, saw applause as a black veil was lifted to reveal the statue, marking the same spot where a Confederate statue stood by United Daughters of the Confederacy since 1908. The Confederate monument was removed after years of activism and following national protests over police brutality and racial injustice, particularly after George Floyd's death. Lewis was a prominent figure in the Civil Rights Movement and a Georgia congressman. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
In the wake of the 2020 murder of George Floyd the toppling of scores of monuments to the Confederacy made national and international news. But four years on the vast majority of these monuments remain firmly in place. University of North Carolina at Charlotte historian and professor emerita Karen L. Cox spent much of her career studying the women responsible for building most of these monuments. She decided to write No Common Ground: Confederate Monuments and the Ongoing Fight for Racial Justice to help communities make informed decisions about what to do with this past. Her work sheds much needed light on the reasons why these monuments were built, why they have been defended and preserved, and the long struggle to denounce and remove them.
For communities to determine the fate of the hundreds of remaining monuments to the Confederacy they need to understand the context and purpose for which they were built. University of North Carolina at Charlotte historian and professor emerita Karen L. Cox stresses that these monuments were erected to restore and perpetuate a system of white supremacy. Situated in prominent public spaces, particularly outside courthouses, monuments to the Confederacy worked in tandem with Jim Crow laws and racial terror to create a system of white domination that lasted another hundred years after emancipation. A conversation with Karen L. Cox about her book, No Common Ground: Confederate Monuments and the Ongoing Fight for Racial Justice, coming July 2nd on Realms of Memory.

Confederate monuments spawn controversy wherever they sit, and recently their removal has caused emotional uproar from all sides of the political spectrum. These ghostly shells of the past represent the myth of the Lost Cause, striking slavery from the list of reasons why the Civil War was fought and turning blame towards the North. Our special guests, Katie Bramell, a museum professional who tackled this subject at the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center, and her former co-worker Jesse Kramer, the director of Exhibits and Collections at Conner Prairie join Zoë and Easton to unpack the issue; if our country almost split in half, what is there to celebrate? From the deep South to the heart of Indiana, these harmful celebrations still negatively impact people who simply want to live lives free of fear. How do we deal with issues beyond flags and statues? What role do museums have in all of this? Can a monument truly receive proper interpretation? We'll try to answer these questions as best we can!

BUZZ's Inside the Hive: Marketing Tips That Give Nonprofits More Buzz
"It's always been like a slap in the face," says Glenna Moore about the Confederate soldier statue in front of the Franklin County, Virginia courthouse.In honor of Black History Month, BUZZ creator Michael Hemphill talks with Moore and Cathie Cummins of the local NAACP, who have fought county officials in vain for years to remove the statue. Now they've changed battlefield tactics and are applying for funding from a "Monuments Across Appalachian Virginia" grant that Virginia Tech is coordinating with money from the Mellon Foundation. If successful, the NAACP chapter will create new monuments to honor the 70 African-Americans born in Franklin County who served in the Union Army during the Civil War ... soldiers fighting not just for their country but for their freedom.Are you a nonprofit with an event that we could help promote?

In this episode, we talk about how to win your children's hearts. As we learn from the story of Stonewall Jackson, our sons will either build and defend our cultural monuments—or tear them down. How do we think about cultural transmission and legacy work? Where does it start? Ultimately, we need thick culture that comes from thick liturgy and cultural maximalism. As we navigate the complexity of protecting our historical monuments, we also broach the little-known influence of feminism and Unitarians in the 1800s. We explore the necessity of robust worship structures and the role of fathers in cultural transmission. We believe that our worship forms our culture, and that's why our conversation also extends to the diverse practices of various churches, underlining the need for a deep and resilient culture.We wrap up with some actionable insights on church membership, worship, liturgy, Christian education, and intentional parenting. You'll hear our thoughts on the transformative power of consistent application of biblical principles and the benefits of addressing uncomfortable topics. We also discuss the influence of male figures in education and some creative solutions to the tuition funding dilemma. Our appreciation goes out to our Patreon supporters who make these conversations possible. We look forward to engaging with your feedback and suggestions.

Civil rights attorney, Jeffery Robinson, released a film in 2021 entitled, "WHO WE ARE: A CHRONICLE OF RACISM IN AMERICA." In the documentary, Robinson addresses an audience onstage as if he's inside a courtroom, arguing a case on how grappling with racism is "our shared history." He challenges them to question why so many aspects of American history related to slavery, state-sanctioned violence and discrimination against Blacks had been forgotten or even hidden. Since the film's release, what inroads to racial progress have happened in the United States? Join us as I SEE U Host Eddie Robinson speaks unguarded with the founder and executive director of ‘The Who We Are Project,' an organization that tackles this country's history of anti-Black racism and white supremacy, Jeffery Robinson. A former ACLU Deputy Legal Director offers up a compelling look at the importance of reframing today's discussions around race and the implications of understanding what could happen if these hidden histories are suddenly revealed and circulated throughout communities across the nation.
Episode 188 Notes and Links to Kavita Das's Work On Episode 188 of The Chills at Will Podcast, Pete welcomes Kavita Das, and the two discuss, among other things, her early trajectory towards becoming a writer, formative and transformative writers and writing, how writing her first book and working in social change led her to write Craft and Conscience, and ideas of history, forgotten histories, personal narrative, writing about emotional issues, the power of anthology and writing being in conversation with other writing, writing as political, and ideas of power. Kavita Das worked in social change for close to fifteen years, addressing issues ranging from community and housing inequities, to public health disparities, to racial injustice. Although Kavita remains committed to social justice issues, she left the social change sector to become a full-time writer and to tell the life story of Grammy-nominated Hindustani singer Lakshmi Shankar through her first book Poignant Song: The Life and Music of Lakshmi Shankar (Harper Collins India, June 2019). At the root of both her writing and social change work is Kavita's desire to provoke thought and engender change by recognizing and revealing the true ways in which culture, race, and gender intersect especially when it comes to societal inequities. Kavita has been a regular contributor to NBC News Asian America, Los Angeles Review of Books, and The Rumpus. In addition, her work has been published in WIRED, Poets & Writers, Catapult, LitHub, Tin House, Longreads, Kenyon Review, The Washington Post, The Atlantic, CNN, Guernica, McSweeney's, Fast Company, Quartz, Colorlines, Romper, and elsewhere. She was nominated for a 2016 Pushcart Prize. Kavita created the popular “Writing About Social Issues” nonfiction seminar, which inspired her second book, Craft and Conscience: How To Write About Social Issues, and has taught at the New School and Catapult, along with being a frequent guest lecturer. Her essays on social issues have been included in two creative writing textbooks. Kavita received a B.A. in Urban Studies from Bryn Mawr College and a M.B.A. in Marketing from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
