1. In The Shadow Of Statues
A White Southerner Confronts History
A former mayor recounts the removal of Confederate monuments in New Orleans and uses that episode to examine the deeper history of racism, civic memory, and the politics of public symbols. Blending personal memoir, historical context, and policy prescription, the book argues that confronting uncomfortable truths about the past is necessary for racial justice, democratic renewal, and healing, and offers practical guidance for leaders and communities seeking to build more inclusive public spaces.
