Turley To Speak Tonight At The Hirshhorn Museum On Historical Monuments and The First Amendment

Tonight, I will speaking at the Hirshhhorn Museum in Washington, D.C.  as part of  a panel discussing the ongoing controversy over the removal of confederate and other historical monuments across the country.  I have been critical of this movement that has extended not only to Robert E. Lee statues but statues of Christopher Columbus and other historical figures (here  and here and here and here and here).  The event, Monuments and the First Amendment, will be held at:
