The Great Society

On changing the facts of life

The old Soviet Union was very adept at manipulating history to fit a political agenda. It looks like the art is being domesticated. Some members of the Great Society seem to feel that tearing down historical markers and statues will somehow erase history. Or not.  

The recent mob error, in mistakingly tearing down an historical statue that was unrelated to the Confederate cause, along with some beautiful words of wisdom from Condoleezza Rice illustrates the fact that the heart of the problem is more about cognition than it is about pigment.
