“Many people still possess, as I do, little pieces of concrete from the
Berlin Wall. And many of us feel some awe in seeing, during these past

in America likewise reduced to pieces, relics of the collapse, after a
hundred and fifty-five years, of the public vestiges of the Lost Cause tradition”
“Europe in 1989, America in 2020, and the Death of the Lost Cause” By David W. Blight
