Worth noting that there certainly are historically valuable contemporaneous Confederate statues. But conversely, many of the Confederate statues (such as the Robert E. Lee statue that became the centre of the controversy in 2016) were installed much later, during the Jim Crow era by white supremacists, most likely seeking to exert themselves over the disempowered southern black communities. No AFL implications here, just some extra nuance to a nuance-addict podcast.
