Defining the Controversy: Explaining why certain monuments (e.g., those honoring colonial figures, slave owners, or Confederate leaders) are now viewed as symbols of oppression rather than just historical figures.

The Options Beyond Simple Removal: Analyzing the range of public policy choices, from leaving a monument untouched, to complete removal, to re-contextualization.

Effective Re-contextualization Strategies: Detailing specific methods for re-interpreting monuments, such as adding secondary plaques with critical historical information, surrounding the existing statue with modern counter-monuments, or moving the original to a museum setting.

The Goal of Historical Integrity: Discussing how the goal of re-contextualization is not to erase history, but to broaden public understanding and acknowledge the pain and exclusionary narrative represented by the original dedication.

Case Studies and Public Debate: Providing examples of cities or institutions that have successfully (or unsuccessfully) implemented re-contextualization policies and the impact on community dialogue.
