Chris Revelle: Living Monuments

Chris Revelle: Living Monuments

SKU: 2021-00033.

Living Monuments uses the schoolbook as a battleground where education, history, and power are challenged by Baldwin.

Living Monuments questions the production and dissemination of history. Through lesson plans for teachers and pro-Confederate books in classrooms and libraries, the United Daughter of the Confederacy reshaped history and taught children to be “living monuments.” Their influential work not only taught the tenets of the Lost Cause, but removed black Americans from the pages except through the understanding of slavery. Appropriating the Jim Crow-era school books, the works are transparent resin casts of the originals.
