the statue with Judge Barry Moehring (ep 2, 15).

In September 2020, Bentonville’s Confederate statue was removed from the downtown square and relocated to a new park near the city cemetery. The decision came after years of debate, heightened by the national reckoning on racial justice following the murder of George Floyd. In this episode, Benton County Judge Barry Moehring reflects on the process that led to the statue’s removal, the tensions and perspectives that shaped the conversation, and what it revealed about our community. Nearly five years later, what can we learn from that moment? How do we navigate historical memory, public space, and the values we choose to uphold?https://www.theunderview.com/episodes/underview-the-bentonville-confederate-statue-judge-barry-moehringAbout the underview:The underview is an exploration of the development of our Communal Theology of Place viewed through the medium of bikes, land, and people to discover community wholeness.Send us a Voice Message at https://www.theunderview.com/Website: ⁠⁠theunderview.com⁠⁠Follow us on Instagram: ⁠⁠@underviewtheHost: @mikerusch
