Recording History in the Making - Ep 191

On today's episode Chris, Stephen and Doug talk about the responsibility of recording history as it's happening around us. As the US explodes in protest over the murder of George Floyd archaeologists are wondering what to do about contentious history. What do we do with all the statues that really should come down? What do we do about the graffiti that is being created right now that represents the thoughts and emotions of protestors? These are tough questions and we try to answer them on this episode.
