Political Rewind: Confederate Monuments Become Flash Points
Primary Content
Monday on Political Rewind, Confederate monuments across America have become a flash point during ongoing protests over police brutality and systemic racism.
Central to the issue is a disagreement about what monuments to the Confederacy represent: history or mythology?
Statues have been brought down by local government or protesters in North Carolina, Virginia and Georgia.
