Contested Heritage and the Four Truths: Episode 2

Carol Fitzsimmons Season 1 Episode 2

Carol Fitzsimmons hosts the "[Re]framing Heritage" podcast, featuring doctoral students from the Heritage Leadership Program at the University of Missouri, St. Louis. The guests, Chaka Johnson, Byron Witherspoon, and Jim Craig, discuss their research on educational equity and trauma at Little Rock Central National Historic Site, and the current development of the Global War on Terror Memorial in Washington, D.C. They emphasize the importance of the four truths framework—factual, personal, societal, and restorative—in addressing contested heritage and moving toward reconciliation.
