Look around you, Judge Alston. The memorial, [40 Republican members of Congress] wrote, was commissioned by the government to honor the “country’s shared reconciliation from its troubled divisions” and complemented a previous gesture in which Confederate remains were relocated to the national cemetery. During his visit, the judge examined the memorial, which is referred to by Defend Arlington as a reconciliation memorial. "I looked very closely," Alston said, adding that he saw "no reference whatsoever to reconciliation." "So very difficult a matter is it to trace and find out the truth of anything by history." -- Plutarch |
