Ken Burns considers how we ought to remember dark parts of our history.

In 2007, the Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site became the only National Park Service unit to use "massacre" in its name, acknowledging a horrific act of state-sponsored violence. In this UNUM Short, Ken Burns tells the story of the tragedy at Sand Creek, and the push to recognize it for what it truly was.
