Findings from the archive

The most documented change is the fight over public memory.

Across the verified actions, removals, renamings, and other public-symbol changes dominate the record. The story is not only who issued a statement; it is which city councils, school boards, universities, and public institutions changed the names, monuments, policies, and budgets people live with.
