Unending battles over Confederate flags, monuments, and the National Anthem suggest that the issues contested in the Civil War and Civil Rights Movement remain unresolved. A polarized nation expressed its allegiance to different historic narratives, and even different flags, during this last year.
Last summer, demonstrations organized to protest the killing of George Floyd by police in Minnesota, demanded, and, on occasion, facilitated the dismantling of monuments to the Confederacy. By winter, a more furious season of discontent over symbols from our history descended on Washington, DC, when insurrectionists invaded the Capitol, flying the Confederate flag.
