Today, we’re joined by Rivka Maizlish, Senior Research Analyst at the Southern Poverty Law Center to talk about the center’s most recent edition of the Whose Heritage? report. The Whose Heritage? report documents the progress in Confederate memorial removal over the last two years and provides an interactive map documenting where these monuments exist and their current status. This is the third edition of this report that SPLC has been creating since 2015 and includes information on Confederate memorials of all kinds, including monuments, schools and buildings named for Confederates, sites of Confederate history, and more. In our conversation, we discuss some of the highlights from this report and how individuals can get involved in the greater fight to remove oppressive monuments and memorials.
