I suggest you simply keep up with the news and/or use the web browser on your computer.
One example (among many) would be the action of the city of New Orleans to remove four statues, including a towering statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee that has stood at the center of a traffic circle for 131 years. (They are removing it from Lee Circle; haven't gotten around to re-naming the street yet.)

And, you will find movements throughout the country to obliterate the Battle Flag of the Army of Northern Virginia (often erroneously identified as "the Confederate Flag") from public view. There have even been arrests for displaying the flag. (Shades of the Thought Police.)
Use your web search browser and read to your heart's content.
