"Monuments matter. 

"Monuments matter. Is there a middle ground for recontextualization of history and memory in a pluralistic society? In an essay commemorating the 400th anniversary of the first enslaved African arrival in Virginia, I posed three questions: “How much history is too much? Whose history? Who decides?” These remain emotively relevant across the Old Dominion’s history—and perhaps always will." –Professor Ervin L. Jordan Jr., Research Archivist, Albert and Shirley Small Special Collections Library, UVA
