Popular culture continues to reject the Confederacy: Gary Clark Jr has video and musical piece which among other things attacks the Lost Cause
Texas Monthly has this articcle about musician Gary Clark Jr. and his piece, "This Land."
What strikes me is that Gary Clark Jr. may not be an academic cultural geographer but he sees things like a cultural geographer. He imagines the landscape.

This is the link to the video. https://youtu.be/9KgNaRQ_J-c
CLICK ON THE VIDEO TO SEE THE WHOLE THING.
What is also interesting is that popular culture is decisively moving against the Confederacy. Also, interesting is that Texas Monthly gave Gary Clark Jr. a big billing. People aren't worried about that one member of the editorial board who hasn't let go of the Confederacy and would be whining about this article.
This video will lead to some more Confederate monuments coming down and likely support a broader agenda of deracializing the landscape.
