EDWARDSVILLE The primary goal of the “Beyond the Bronze: The Ninian Edwards Statue in Context” virtual event was to encourage discussion about what should be done with the statue, but the educational forum went well beyond the monument dedicated to the city’s namesake.
The event, hosted via Zoom by SIUE’s Truth, Racial Healing and Transformation Center, was attended virtually by more than 100 people on Dec. 2 and featured a group of panelists with a wide range of expertise.
