How To Love Your Country Without Lying About It | Ty Seidule

Über diese Folge

<p>Today in the US, we celebrate Juneteenth, the commemoration of the emancipation of slaves in America.&nbsp;It’s wonderful to note the moments of historical progress like Juneteenth. But we have to remember that beautiful language pales in comparison to beautiful acts.</p><br><p>In today’s episode, Ryan talks with General Ty Seidule about memory, monuments, and what it means to tell the truth about the past. They discuss the difference between memory and nostalgia, why commemoration should reflect our values, and how American history is full of heroes worth honoring. </p><br><p>Ty Seidule served in the U.S. Army for more than three decades, retiring in 2020 as a brigadier general. He is a professor emeritus of history at West Point and received its distinguished faculty award. In 2021, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin appointed Seidule to the Congressional Naming Commission tasked with redesignating Department of Defense assets which honor Confederates, where he was elected vice chair.</p><br><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/tyseidule/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Follow Ty on Instagram | @<strong>tyseidule</strong></a></p><br><p>📚 Books Mentioned: </p><p><a href="https://www.thepaintedporch.com/products/how-the-word-is-passed-a-reckoning-with-the-history-of-slavery-across-america?_pos=1&amp;_sid=f40760497&amp;_ss=r" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>How The Word Is Passed</em></a></p><p><a href="https://www.thepaintedporch.com/products/robert-e-lee-and-me-a-southerners-reckoning-with-the-myth-of-the-lost-cause?_pos=1&amp;_sid=ed72a8571&amp;_ss=r" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Robert E.
