Nancy Leschke: Thank you for sharing this. So disturbing. As someone who has always lived in the upper Midwest, I have little familiarity with how history is presented in the south. We definitely have systemic and personal racism up here too, but this type of simultaneous celebration and omission of huge swaths of southern history is important for every US citizen to know about. How can we make progress as a nation if we don't even publicly acknowledge the harm that's part of our history?
Latasha Morrison: Exactly... admitting the harm is part of the process of healing, solidarity and reconciliation.
