Statues of Limitations?

July 10, 2020

Calvin Schermerhorn
Calvin Schermerhorn

Dr. Calvin Schermerhorn and his family attend ULC/LCM. Professor Schermerhorn teaches American History at ASU with an emphasis on Antebellum history and slavery in particular. He has also researched, written and spoken about Jim Crow and racism in the US from the Civil War until today. What follows are his thoughts and observations concerning the current movement to take down Confederate statues. Calvin ends with questions for us to consider. To this I have to add my own personal wonderment: As a Lutheran, what do I think about Martin Luther statues? I have spoken to Jewish Studies, the Center for the Study of Religion and Conflict, ASU classes, and a couple congregations concerning Luther’s Anti-Semitism. What, indeed????

Thank you, Calvin for writing this for us!
