What should we do about confederate monuments?

A discussion about what we should do with Confederate monuments and other public commemorations of troubling parts of our American past. Two University of St. Thomas deans took up the issue as part of the university's "Hot Topics: Cool Talk" series.

Should we erase all reminders of our racist history? What's the best way to achieve justice and have a healthy, pluralistic society?
