Charlottesville Soundboard - A podcast about news, arts and equity in Charlottesville. This week we have a special short episode about the Monumental Justice Rally taking place in Richmond on Wednesday, January 8th. Organizers hope to convince the new Virginia General Assembly to pass a law giving cities and counties in Virginia local control over their Civil War monuments. Local activists and Monumental Justice Rally organizers, Jalane Schmidt and Kristin Szakos, sit down with us to talk about the bill, the rally and the Confederate monuments in our public spaces.
