Professor Brownstein's Hill op-ed challenges Trump's stance on Confederates

Professor Emeritus Alan E. Brownstein wrote a July 7 op-ed for The Hill headlined “Down with Confederate monuments, ‘up with the stars.’”

The op-ed referenced President Donald Trump’s opposition to the removal of Confederate statues. In it, Brownstein asked, "If Donald Trump demands respect for and allegiance to the American flag, why in the world does he insist on protecting monuments to, and honors for, those who disgraced it?"

Before his retirement from full-time teaching, he held the Boochever and Bird Endowed Chair for the Study and Teaching of Freedom and Equality.
