I’ve given dozens of interviews, especially since the Charleston Massacre of 2015, mostly on the issue of Confederate monuments. Many of these have been for international publications ranging from The Guardian (UK) to Asahi Shimbun (Tokyo, Japan). I’ve also given interviews with national media outlets such as Newsweek, the New York Times, the Washington Post, and so many others. Radio interviews are also in the dozens. I can no longer keep up with them on my website, so Google is where you’ll find most of them. Thank you.
