Professor Joan Waugh Debunks the “Easy Stereotypes of History”

The UCLA scholar tries to understand the past on its own terms, while interrogating how we memorialize it. She speaks with Fred about the memory wars that have outlived the Civil War, the politics of Reconstruction that gave us Confederate monuments, and what we can learn from Gettysburg by visiting the place.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
