Precious And Dear To Us Is Only This Place: The Transformative Potential Of Monumental Remnants, Zachary A. Bray Jan 2023

Precious And Dear To Us Is Only This Place: The Transformative Potential Of Monumental Remnants, Zachary A. Bray

Law Faculty Scholarly Articles

When monuments are torn down, what remains, and what should we do with the remains? In the United States as elsewhere, recent political and social conflicts have led to the destruction or relocation of many monuments—sometimes spontaneous, sometimes carefully planned. Much attention has been focused on these processes of removal and relocation, and the laws that hinder or advance these changes. On the other hand, relatively little attention has been paid to what remains behind after monuments are removed or destroyed: the vacant spaces, empty pedestals, fragments of statues, and so forth. Sometimes these remnants are protected by laws that …

We are in another moment where who and how we memorialize is being reconsidered in communities small and large. My colleague, Zachary Bray, and I proposed this symposium to the Kentucky Law Journal because the topic reflected our shared interests in the debate over memorials and which historical narrative should triumph in the public square. We arrive at the question from different intellectual paths, but the common concern is over when and how stakeholders can and will revise that narrative through the regulation of monuments. These revisions often come in the form of calls for, it not outright, removal outhouse …

It may be easy, at least for some people who do not live near Confederate monuments in public spaces, to assume that these monuments represent little more than links to a shameful and long-ago past. From this assumption one might then view these monuments as a sort of last stand; the atavistic echo of a country that was, but is no longer, cemented into the present by their monumental form though ultimately doomed to erode in the undefined future. But, unpleasant though it may be to consider or admit, the truth is that many remaining Confederate monuments embody aspects of …


We Are All Growing Old Together: Making Sense Of America's Monument-Protection Laws, Zachary A. Bray Jan 2020

We Are All Growing Old Together: Making Sense Of America's Monument-Protection Laws, Zachary A. Bray

Law Faculty Scholarly Articles

Monuments and the laws that protect them divide Americans today as never before. American attitudes toward monuments have always been a blend of affection, insecurity, and suspicion. But Americans are now more invested in the built and natural monuments that surround us: to be for, or against, protecting certain monuments has now become a shorthand for one’s stance on a host of cultural and political issues. These changing attitudes have thrown American monument-protection laws into sharp relief. And many local, state, and federal legislators and executive officials have taken advantage of this opportunity to exploit America’s patchwork of monument-protection laws, …

Like many other places in the United States, the town of Springfield, Kentucky, was repeatedly ravaged in the nineteenth century by cholera, a disease that is easily and swiftly communicable through feces-contaminated drinking water or food.Today, cholera is little thought of in this country—or at least it was little thought of until very recently, although it has persisted in many parts of the world through the present. But in the nineteenth century cholera outbreaks were a recurring disaster in American life, fueled by poor sanitation, medical ignorance, and racist, nativist, and religious prejudice.
