Controversial Monuments by Amanda Jackson Green - ADVISABLE

Controversial Monuments: The Fight Over Statues and Symbols by Amanda Jackson Green
, 29 pages. NON-FICTION. Lerner, 2021. $26 (library binding) 

BUYING ADVISORY: EL, MS - ADVISABLE 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

Green cuts to the heart of the fight between those who want to keep Confederate statues up around the United States and those who are working to take them down. She looks at the roots of the statues, including their purpose and moves to the modern day Black Lives Matter activism. 

A well-written if simple look at the issue. Accessible to elementary or middle school, though not enough depth for research, except as a single source among several.
