Rounding up and eliminating the remnants of all that harm isn’t always the answer. A college professor showed us D. W. Griffith’s 1915 “Birth of a Nation” during a lesson on racist propaganda, and viewing it likely provided a more powerful lesson than reading about it. The Chicago Monuments Project may decide to add plaques or parallel installations for many of the pieces they’re examining. (para. 16)
