Episode: San Francisco Debates How to Honor Women With Monuments in the Era of Toppling Statues
Description: San Francisco's Arts Commission wants a public monument honoring poet Maya Angelou. It's part of an effort to fix the fact that just 2 percent of public sculptures in the city honor women. But the commission and the local arts community can't agree on how Maya Angelou should be represented.
