Dr. Neiman is a philosopher and author who explores ethics, history, and the implications of forgetting in shaping societal values and public spaces.
Statues are coming down, debates are heating up, and communities are divided over who controls public memory. Dr. James Young, Dr. Susan Neiman, and Dr. David Frydl examine who gets to decide which moments are commemorated in public spaces — and whether erasing a monument is ever the same as erasing history.
