The context he brought...


to the times and Lee the man was very good but, not new or earth shattering to people who have taken his classes or heard other presentations of his.

It would be extremely enlightening if C Span or some other entity were to produce a debate on the monument issue and allow both sides only one representative to advocate their position. Dr. Robertson, even at his advancing age, would be a great spokesman. He also left a pretty big mark on the Episcopal church when he took them to task in his presentation. Finally, he made a great case, in my opinion, with his use of the Churchill quote about the importance of a grounded understanding of history being necessary to respond in current times and move forward.
