Trump Is Putting Confederate Statues Back Up. Here’s Why They Must Fall Again. (The Intercept, 08 Aug 2025)

#politics #MediaLit #polarization #edtechSR #ConCW #Whiteness #ConfrontingWhiteness #racism #CivilWar #ethics #history #HardHistory

Screenshot of an article from The Intercept with the headline: “Trump Is Putting Confederate Statues Back Up. Here’s Why They Must Fall Again.” The subheading reads: “Monuments to racism license racist violence. White supremacists, for their part, know this well.” The byline credits Natasha Lennard and lists the date as August 8, 2025, at 10:42 a.m. Below the headline is a photograph showing a toppled bronze statue lying on its back in the grass, with its pedestal lying sideways beside it. Nearby concrete steps are spray-painted, and the scene appears to be in front of a government or institutional building with trees and shrubbery in the background.
