In truth, it more about the monuments and statues we will raise. If we want to address wrongs, make art to heal the soul. If you want attention paid to wrongs perpetrated, write a novel, do an installation, write a poem. if you want light shed on events that have been deliberately mislabeled or trumped up into something they were never meant to be.

(Now there is an interesting use of that word, my, my, Trumped-up…hmmmm gets the mind wondering, but no I’ll not wander or stray, to the point…)

It is so easy to rail and rant and tear down. Much harder to create. And remember, anything we, you, I do create will carry for all time the stamp of the time and culture from which it arose. This is good for archeologists and historians. A plastic and platicene, mono-culture would be hard to read and even more difficult to learn from.

If I read you correctly it is about learning from the past not knee-jerking it into some bizarre form of submission we should be looking at and looking for. If so, I agree.

Cheers,
