when historians fifty or a hundred years hence look back on these weeks of insurrection, they may see them as the point at which the old white america gave up the ghost 
and the coming nonwhite-majority country really began to take the reins. and the protestors know it; they know that they are making history, and that the future is determined in part 
by the stories we tell in the present, and that those stories are not only words but names 
and monuments.
