Since 2022, the year of the third edition of this report, progress in the number of Confederate memorials removed or renamed has slowed, but it has not stopped. The work continues.
This fourth installment of 人兽性交鈥檚 Whose Heritage? report offers an evolving assessment of the
threats and harms that find continued life through Confederate symbols, 鈥淟ost Cause鈥 narratives
and ideologies of white supremacy.
