## Resource

In this episode of Apathy Is Not an Option, we meet the next generation of Southern changemakers. You'll hear from SPLC's Rivka Maizlish, who unravels the myths and misinformation surrounding monuments, and Jeremiah Treece, a teen in Montgomery, Alabama, calling for a new city flag free from Confederate imagery. We then visit Parker Short, a policy student exposing the racist legacy of Georgia’s Stone Mountain. These young leaders are confronting the past to build a more just future. Alongside insights from SPLC’s Seth Levi, we also unpack the lies of the “Lost Cause,” the myth of “product of their time,” and why monuments matter in the fight for truth and accountability. Whether it’s standing up to symbols of white supremacy or rewriting the narrative of the South, these stories prove the future belongs to those who refuse to be silent. Nichole Hill and Mark Pagán are the senior producers and editors. Sound design and mixing by Terence Bernardo. For the SPLC, the executive producers are Cassandra Douglas and Julian Teixeira, with production assistance from Neil Parekh and Jennifer Lazarus of Digimentors. From PRX Productions, the project manager is Edwin Ochoa and the EP is Jocelyn Gonzales. Visit and follow us on social media to learn more, take action, and support the work of dismantling white supremacy and advancing racial and economic justice.
