In Britain the attempt to remove a statue of one of Oxfordsmost famous benefactors, the imperialist Cecil Rhodes, has spread to otheruniversities and their benefactors, and now also affects civic monuments andstatues in towns and cities across the country. In the United States, memorialsto leaders of the Confederacy in the American Civil War and to otherslaveholders have been the subject of intense dispute. Should we continue tohonour benefactors and historic figures whose actions are now deemed ethicallyunacceptable? How can we reconcile the views held by our ancestors with thosewe now hold today? Should we even try, acknowledging, in the words of thenovelist L. P. Hartley, that the past is another country; they do thingsdifferently there?
