PART 1

What do events in Charlottesville reveal about historical memory and how are these events connected to a larger historical controversy?

Part 2 -

President Trump’s remarks at a press conference on Tuesday, August 15, 2017: “So, will George Washington now lose his status? Are we going to take down – are we going to take down statues to George – how about Thomas Jefferson?... Now, are we going to take down his statue? So, you know what? It’s fine. You’re changing history. You’re changing culture.” “So this week, it is Robert E. Lee. I noticed that Stonewall Jackson is coming down. I wonder, is it George Washington next week? And is it Thomas Jefferson the week after? You know, you really have to ask yourself, where does it stop?”

What do President Trump's statements reveal about his privilege? How does his position give him an opportunity to influence the National Memory? Should people just "get over" past injustices, or is there more to it? How does this attitude reflect privilege?
