In the shadow of statues : a white southerner confronts history Cover Image Book

In the shadow of statues : a white southerner confronts history / Mitch Landrieu.

Landrieu, Mitch, (author.).

Summary:

When Mayor Mitch Landrieu addressed the people of New Orleans in May 2017 about his decision to take down four Confederate monuments, he struck a nerve nationally, forcing into the open a reckoning with the insititutional racism that shapes us today. Now Mayor Landrieu retraces his personal journey on race and the path he took to making the decision to remove the monuments. A book that looks forward as well as back in time, "In the Shadow of Statues" tackles the broad legacies of slavery, race, and inequality that still bedevil America.--
