Welcome to the conversations that matter

podcast. My name is John Harris and this is in my opinion an

important episode. I had the pleasure of reading a book on the Charlottesville situation from 2017 for those who remember there was a rally in Charlottesville called Unite the Right and then after that rally, there was some violence,

someone even died.

Donald Trump made some statements that gained some national media

attention in which he said that there were good people

on both sides of this rally, counter-protesters and protesters.

And that actually became such a big event, a big statement from Donald Trump that had even made its way into the national election last year.

Biden tried to use this against Trump and in the spin was that Trump was calling Nazis,

neo Nazis, racists, essentially good people.

And this could not be further from the truth,

but this has been something that the left has tried

to pin on the right political conservatives for well since

the Charlottesville Unite the right rally happened and so there that's that's the

background to this well I read a book called Charlottesville Untold over the weekend and we have the author of that book with us.

Anne Smith, she also runs the Reckonen website. She's the founder of Rekenin. Is it Rekenin.com and how do the people get there?

Okay, Rekeninin.com. And you can go to

go to Charlotte'sville at the Shotwell publishing website.

They didn't want to just use Amazon.

You can go to Amazon and find it there as well,

but if you want to get the ebook,

you got to go to Shotwell publishing to find that. And I'm just so grateful to have you with us to talk about this because I think this is important to get this right. And so I'm looking forward to it.
