Civil War Scholar and Director of Education at the National Museum of Civil War Medicine, John Lustrea, joins me on the podcast, along with longtime broadcaster, Melinda Schmidt. We talk about some of the fallout of the Civil War that we still bump up against today. Maybe you’ve been to a wedding or an event, or visited an arboretum on the beautiful property of a former plantation. How do we process that? Have some plantation properties, or cities, who have taken down monuments or changed names on public buildings done it right? How do we look at and process some of these icons of our difficult history? It’s a thoughtful conversation about that and more on this week’s Faith Conversations.
