Civil unrest and leadership in the United States

Civil Unrest and Leadership in the United States.

Dr Jennifer Hunt talks to BBC Radio on the recent civil unrest in Charlottesville Virginia and the response from President Trump. Dr Hunt reminds us that General Robert E Lee, around whose statue the Neo Nazi rally took place, opposed the placing of Confederate monuments and warned that they would be divisive. As a Southerner herself, Dr Hunt believes that some things belong on pedestals whilst other things belong in museums.
