From an article in the New York Times by Caroline Randall Williams
"I have rape-colored skin. My light-brown-blackness is a living testament to the rules, the practices, the causes of the Old South. If there are those who want to remember the legacy of the Confederacy, if they want monuments, well, then, my body is a monument. My skin is a monument. I am a black, Southern woman, and of my immediate white male ancestors, all of them were rapists. My very existence is a relic of slavery and Jim Crow."

"There Are No Nostalgic Nazi Memorials
Americans could learn from how drastically German society has moved away from the nadir of its history".
Maybe not just Americans .
