Who we build monuments to and why it matters

Approximately half a million statues and monuments are maintained throughout America. And they honor some very different ideas. Paul M. Farber, co-director of the National Monument Audit, joins host Krys Boyd to discuss a recent study of 50,000 monuments across the U.S. and what the research shows about who we memorialize and who we leave out. The National Monument Audit was produced by Monument Lab in partnership with The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
