• Since then, two more major Confederate monuments have been removed: the Confederate Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery and the Monument to the Women of the Confederacy in Jacksonville, Florida.
• Defenders of Confederate monuments have argued that the statues should be left standing to educate future generations.
• Despite meager financing and constant threats, these newspapers represented the views of Black Americans and documented the nation’s shortcomings in achieving racial equality.

‘Lost Cause’ propaganda

• My research students and I have also reviewed countless reactions to the monuments published in real time in Black newspapers.
• What is clear is that from the late nineteenth century until today, Confederate monuments were part of a relentless propaganda campaign to restore the South’s reputation at dedication ceremonies, parades, reunions and Memorial Day events.

• The master of ceremonies of that unveiling was R.T.W.
• Duke, Jr., the son of a Confederate colonel who was a popular orator at events like these.
• A few years earlier, Duke made his own views of the Civil War plain.

A critical Black press

• Contrary to the claims of today’s defenders of Confederate monuments, a review of Black newspapers going back to the 1870s conducted by my research team shows that Black journalists’ criticism of these memorials had already begun by the late nineteenth century.
• The first truly national Confederate monument was the statue of Robert E. Lee in Richmond.
• It was unveiled before an audience of as many as 150,000 attendees on May 29, 1890, and provoked sharp alarm among Black commentators across the country.

• Mitchell further detailed the enthusiasm of the crowd assembled in Richmond.
• “Cheer after cheer rang out upon the air as fair women waved handkerchiefs and screamed to do honor,” Mitchell wrote.

• An article republished from the National Home Protector, a Baltimore-based Black newspaper, also took aim at the statue.
• The editors of the newspaper accused white Southerners of trying to use the glorification of Lee to resurrect the “corpse of rebellion.”

Writing truth to power

• No one knows what the Black-owned Charlottesville Messenger said about the unveiling of the Lee monument in its city in 1924.
• For many Black editors, the monuments had become symbols of the violent backlash against Black citizenship by white Southerners.
• Telling the truth about American history requires transforming these memorials into true reflections of the seemingly never-ending battles initially fought during the the Civil War.
