The Controversy Surrounding the Sculpture (Clip 1 of 2)

The first clip associated with The Last Conquistador lesson plan shows opposing viewpoints on a controversial statue in El Paso, Texas. Some view it as a monument to culture and others as a glorification of genocide. Students should discuss how art can contribute to a community's sense of history and other questions from The Last Conquistador note-taking guide (PDF).
