		While in the past, monuments were the most recognizable means of unifying a community and promoting reconciliation or a particularly cherished civic virtue—bravery, fortitude, tolerance, or "worker solidarity"—they can have quite the opposite effect when removed from their original contexts.
		But if in the past monuments were one of the more effective means of publicly affirming communal values or placing an official imprimatur on dominant narratives of history, it seems fairly clear that in today's contentious times they usually seem to underscore the challenge of maintaining a harmonious democratic pluralism.
		Monuments to post–Civil War southern white supremacy may seem like clear examples of commemorative symbols that have outlived their time, but attempts at removing offensive or ideologically out-of-date monuments or symbols often generate intense controversy, with the unintended effect of reanimating the very monuments people wanted erased from public consciousness.
