From Red Shirts to Proud Boys, from the Klan to ICE, tracking white nationalism

Guest: Dr. Jennifer Taylor

Dr. Taylor earned her PhD at USC, and is an Associate Professor of Public History at Duquesne University. She specializes in debunking myths and telling true stories about our painful past. She addresses the tensions involved between the romanticized history told by the winners and the peoples’ lived history. She offers best practices for interpreting issues such as white supremacy and domestic political terrorism for public audiences. Her recent book Rebirth: Creating the Museum of the Reconstruction Era and the Future of the House Museum, tells how the Woodrow Wilson boyhood home in Columbia was upgraded for the 21st Century as the Museum of the Reconstruction Era. Rebirth is available in hardback and paperback, as well as a free open access e-book through the University of South Carolina Press.
