In the Shadow of Statues
By Mitch Landrieu
240 pages
The way forward "starts with telling the
truth about the past," the
New Orleans mayor
writes in this impassioned reconciliation of Southern identity. Such truth
telling spurred his call for the takedown of NOLA's Confederate statues, a
decision recounted to rousing effect here.
