✅ Statue depicts black man on horseback speaking back to people looking at Confederate monuments

✍ Last Updated Dec 11, 2019 9:17 AM EST A new statue of a black man on horseback now sits a few blocks from a famous row of Confederate monuments in Richmond, Virginia, the former capital of the Confederacy. It was inspired by one of the Confederate monuments, a statue of General Jeb Stuart on horseback, but it sends a very different message. CBS This Morning co-host Anthony Mason spoke exclusively with the new monument's artist, Kehinde Wiley, about how he wants to create a new narrative. A few years ago, Wiley, of California, came face-to-face for the first time with the statues of Stuart, as well as Gens. Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson along Richmond's Monument Avenue. There's a type of ceremony that surrounds the valorization of these guys, Wiley said. Asked what he saw when he looked at the monuments, he said, I saw a spectacle that felt dreadful. I mean, it almost felt like it was designed to be menacing. To be in a black body walking through the streets of Ric ...

Lee Monument Defaced 11-12-12
Va FLAGGER VICTORY IN THE CAPITAL OF THE CONFEDERACY! On Monday morning, November 12th, one of the Va Flaggers alerted the group that the Robert E Lee statue on Monument Ave. had been defaced with grafitti.
70110/richmonds-robert-e-lee-statue-vandalized
Immediately, a text, email, and FB alert was issued asking for a Flagger to check out the situation. TriPp Lewis arrived at the scene at 10:30 and reported that the grafitti was still there and asked for Flaggers to join him. We alerted the media and put out a call for help. Capitol police, who are responsible for the monument, advised us that due to the holiday, no one would be out to clean the monument today. We advised them that we would stay on watch until it was taken care of.
By 11:00 a.m., the majority of Richmond's major media outlets had arrived, as well as several local papers. TriPp managed to give interviews to several until back up arrived. The Va Flaggers spent the next hour giving interviews, patrolling the area around the monument, and talking with folks who passed by or stopped to see what was happening. At 12:00,
Channel 8 ran a live interview with TriPp.
Within 30 minutes, a subcontractor arrived, amidst shouts of joy from the Flaggers, and crews began power washing the monument! This was a vast improvement in response time as compared to a similar situation a few months ago. Perhaps the authorities have come to realize the Va Flaggers are a force to be reckoned with? By 2:00, every trace of the graffiti was gone, and the Va Flaggers were able to leave the monument and return home.
We issued the following statement, which has been picked up and reported by several media outlets: The Virginia Flaggers take wanton acts of destruction and hatred toward Confederate symbols as an attack on our own dearly departed. This act of violence against the Robert E Lee monument holds no less dishonor than if it had been committed at the grave of a loved one. No one should accept or tolerate such behavior, especially as the nation pauses to remember all American Veterans on Veterans Day, none of whom is more deserving than the honorable and distinguished Robert E Lee of Virginia. We are thrilled with the Department of General Service's response to our request for clean up, but as this is the third such desecration in recent months, feel that more should be done to prosecute the offenders and prevent it from happening again. As such, The Virginia Flaggers are offering a $600 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person(s) behind this disgusting act, and call on other Confederate Heritage organizations and the citizens of Richmond to join us in this effort.

The Long Road to Reconciliation - Veterans and the Record of War (Lecture)
Following the conclusion of the Civil War, surviving Union and Confederate veterans returned home to face an unknown future. United by the shared experience of war, these former soldiers bonded through veterans organizations. In 1866, Union veterans established the Grand Army of the Republic. In 1889 former Confederates banded together to create the United Confederate Veterans.Both groups endeavored to right the record of the conflict. Park Historian John Heiser examines how these two groups, through their newspapers, regimental histories, and reunions helped to shape our interpretation of the war

Power and Distorted Relationships: The Psychology of the “Loyal Slave” and “Mammy” (Lecture)
In the final days of the America Civil War, previously isolated slave populations found the opportunity to run toward Union ships or infantry encampments. Likewise, as federal forces moved onto these plantations and publicly read the Emancipation Proclamation, newly freed slaves migrated in great numbers to the nearest city where the Freedman’s Bureau worked to reunite scattered families and provide various forms of social or economic support. Southern planters watched their slaves leave with dismay, having lived under the delusion that their “human property” saw them as patriarchs who provided daily protection from birth to death. Their “defections” stripped away any pretense of the master-slave relationship. Join Ranger Troy Harman and explore the shattered notions of the “loyal slave” and “Mammy” following the end of the war and the transformation of southern society.
Ken Burns & Henry Louis Gates, Jr. in conversation with Michel Martin
Documentarian Ken Burns and scholar Henry Louis Gates, Jr., join together to discuss the prevailing political fault line in the US: race. In this illuminating and cogent exchange, they examine why race is critical to their understanding of America and their work—and how, as a nation, we deal with race today. Their discussion is complemented with clips from Jackie Robinson, Burns' forthcoming epic about the impact and legacy of the first black baseball player to play in the major leagues, and Black America Since MLK: And Still I Rise, Gates' chronicle of the civil rights movement culminating in the election of Obama. (Both films are scheduled to premiere on PBS in 2016.)
Both figures have explored how race is part of the American fabric in their work. Burns’ landmark Emmy Award-winning television series The Civil War and Gates’ unprecedented four-part series African American Lives explore not just the role African-Americans have played throughout our history, but also how race, conceptions of race, and ideas about freedom and independence influence our politics and policies. They trace the historical significance of race from abolitionism to civil rights to the war on poverty—and consider what it means to have an African-American president.
