The US Capitol’s National Statuary Hall includes confederate statues Photo: Andy Feliciotti
This week, we look at white supremacist art in the Capitol in Washington and discuss the legacy of Hannah Arendt. Plus, we look at a record-breaking auction sale of a Batman comic.
Sarah Beetham, chair of liberal arts and assistant professor of art history at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, discusses the statue of the Confederate General Robert E. Lee that was removed from the Capitol building two weeks before right-wing mobs, incited by President Donald Trump and other Republican lawmakers, attacked the Capitol and filled it with white supremacist imagery like the Confederate flag. A further eight Confederate statues remain in the Capitol s National Statuary Hall today.

“I like the idea [of changing the statues] very much,” Ralston said in July shortly after Lewis’s death. “I always admired Congressman Lewis and told him so many times. Georgia has a long history, so much more than just the Civil War, and John Lewis has been an important part of that.”
Duncan, too, has expressed support for a statue of Lewis in the Capitol to ensure the Peach State is represented “by a figure that aligns with our state’s core values.”
Stephens delivered the notorious 1861 “Cornerstone Speech,” in which he explicitly described chattel slavery and white supremacy as foundational to the Confederacy.

Workers with Rio Arriba County removed the sculpture of Juan de Onate from the Onate Center in Acalde Monday June 14 2020. Crowds of people for and against the removal lined Highway 68 in front of the center. (Eddie Moore/Albuquerque Journal)
With regard to Elizabeth Buchen’s “Onate indefensible, deserves no statue,” letter to editor, it is felt by many that these situations have gotten out of hand in Albuquerque and Santa Fe, due to the awkward, limited riot control measures taken and overall mishandling of these situations on the part of both Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller and Santa Fe Mayor Alan Webber.
