The History department hosted a conversation with Ty Seidule, alumnus and author of Between Robert E. Lee and Me: A Southerner’s Reckoning with the myth of the Lost Cause. (See Interesting Books for details.)
This video provides a good grounding on the lost cause mythos that underlies the veneration of Lee, especially in today’s context.
