Take the Confederate Statues Down. As of August 2016, there were still more than 1,500 public commemorations of the Confederacy, even excluding the battlefields and cemeteries: 718 monuments and statutes still stood, and 109 public schools, 80 counties and cities, and 10 U.S. military bases bore the names of Lee, Jefferson Davis, and other Confederate icons, according to a tally by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
More than 200 of these were in Virginia alone. And one sits in the center of Charlottesville. It was commissioned exactly 100 years ago, a gift to the city from a local philanthropist, to honor his parents with a physical incarnation of Southern ideals. But the statue was hardly the only contemporary effort to enshrine and defend these ideals.

Grace Hopper College is a residential college of Yale University, opened in 1933 as one of the original eight undergraduate residential colleges endowed by Edward Harkness.
It was originally named Calhoun College after US Vice President John C. Calhoun, but renamed in 2017 in honor of computer scientist Grace Murray Hopper.[2][3][4] The building was designed by John Russell Pope. From the 1960s onward, Calhoun's white supremacist beliefs and pro-slavery leadership[5][6][7][8] had prompted calls to rename the college and remove its tributes to Calhoun.
In 2016, the Yale Corporation chose to retain the Calhoun name,[9][10] but in 2017 it reversed its decision and renamed the college after Hopper. [2][3] History[edit] Before the college[edit] Divinity Hall, demolished in 1931 to build the college, from New Haven Green In 1641, John Brockston established a farm on the plot of land that is now Grace Hopper College.

Belgium confronts ugly colonial past, but African museum changes don't please everyone. The Royal Museum for Central Africa opened here in 1897 to celebrate Belgium’s new colonial triumph — the creation of the Congo Free State by King Leopold II.
His reign over the million-square-mile swath was brutal. Estimates of the death toll from forced labor, disease and massacres run as high as 10 million. That was not the message of the museum, whose exhibits over the years were largely propaganda committed to upholding a national delusion that Belgium had brought civilization to the region. Engravings glorified the king and statues depicted the local people as primitive. Μνημεία και δημόσιος χώρος.

Statue of Napoleon I after the Fall of the Vendôme Column. The Franco-Prussian War was brought about by rising tensions between France and Prussia in the 1860s.
France, under Emperor Napoleon III, was determined to check the growth of Prussian power and avenge what it saw as a series of diplomatic humiliations. Prussia, under Chancellor Otto von Bismarck, believed that a Prussian-led war of the German states against France would be a decisive act leading to creation of a unified German empire. The conflict began on July 19, 1870, when France declared war. The French army proved woefully unprepared and suffered a disastrous defeat at the Battle of Sedan, leaving open the road to Paris. By September 19, the Germans had completely surrounded the city and begun a siege that was to last more than four months.
