Calhoun Statue

Denmark Vesey’s Garden: Slavery and Memory in the Cradle of the Confederacy - Blain Roberts, Ethan J. Kytle

So if you have seen the headlines about the Charleston Calhoun statue coming down, this book lays out, in great depth, the reason why that statue should have come down.

 

More importantly, the book traces how one city chose to remember history and the impact that it had.  

 

Highly important read.
