Sponsored by the Alabama NLG Chapter.

There has been a growing movement across the South to remove or remove monuments to the Confederacy or to place them in historic context. Many have been removed, many more remain and many defend them. Alabama has passed a "Monument Preservation Act," making it unlawful to remove or alter monuments, schools, streets, etc. This panel will discuss both political advocacy and potential litigation around Confederate monuments and how the two can augment each other.

Speakers:
David Gespass (past NLG president)
Haley Czarnek (NLG member who, as student researched possible constitutional challenge to Monument Preservation Act) Camille Bennett (founder and ED of Project Say Something)
