Dear Phil Katz,

Thank you for this reply and for adding all these details. I was also about to add another item from your blog, the Spectrum debate on "Solid History and Porous Memories: A Lecture Ignites a Debate on Ethics" (https://spectrummagazine.org/news/2023/solid-history-and-porous-memories...). The Legacies is a very interesting blog and, I will add, readers may choose to receive it via email, each Monday.

"Symbols of the Confederacy are slowly coming down from US military bases: 3 essential reads," The Conversation (May 17, 2023)

A roundup of 3 articles from The Conversation’s archives: 1. Reconsidering Confederate iconography; 2. Memorializing modern-day values; 3. Memorials have expiration dates too?
