The show scheduled for broadcast on 6/29 at 3 PM (CT) on Monday will likely be recorded sometime late Saturday.

I’d like some written opinions.

Tentatively, the topic is statues and monuments.

– Who erects them and why?

– Should they ever be taken down? When and why?

– What kind and how much societal consensus does/should it take to install/remove them?

– What are the long-term sociopolitical ramifications of removing statues/monuments?

– What kind of emotions — personal and societal — accompany the installation/removal of statues/monuments?

– Associated with installation/removal of statues/monuments, are there feelings of:

• Relief?
• Resentment?
• Closure?
• Simmering anger?
• Inevitable violence (from pros and/or cons)?

I’m looking for written opinions. They can be scholarly, visceral, ambivalent, or anything else you want to express. They can be guided by my questions, or something entirely unexpected by me.

I still can’t take live phone calls, but I want to hear from you on this topic.

Please email to Thinkwing@KPFT.org and/or post as a comment below this post.

Thanks,

Mike
