For my final project in my class, Beyond Limits: Transgression, Controversy, and Censorship in Modern Art, I chose to write my essay on the removal of the Confederate monument in the square of my hometown, Decatur, after the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020. The removal was just one piece of the dialogue surrounding Decatur's efforts to address and recontextualize it's history amidst the underlying racial issues still prevalent in the 21st Century. These slides are from the presentation that I delivered as part of the final project alongside an essay.
