In the wake of the Charleston Massacre of 2015 and the violence in Charlottesville in 2017, anti-racist activism has surged across the United States and beyond. In particular, anti-racist activists have called attention to, and sought to challenge, the ways in which white supremacy is enshrined in public monuments, memorials, and place names. This panel shall examine the ongoing struggles to remove symbols of white supremacy from public spaces in New Orleans and in cities across the United States, drawing insight from academic geographers and a local New Orleans artist-activist.
