Progress isn't removing anything that offends a group, such as Confederate flags or statues. Progress is when their presence, or the presence of a statue or flag of an otherwise opposing group (such as Martin Luther King) no longer trigger violence. Until then, no progress has been made, people are only pretending their hatred disappeared by erasing their past or covering it up, pretending that it doesn't exist along with any and all negative feelings (rather than expressing them fully).
Never trust someone that pretends they have no negative feelings, or that erasing all external signs of them is progress, since these are the biggest cynics you will ever meet. Not everybody has to pretend to be an optimist all the time about everything, since there is reason not to be sometimes.
