She talks about being a child of the 60s and the loss of political idealism after the Assassination of John Kennedy, Dr. King, and Bobby Kennedy. At the end she discusses that some people are waking up to that political idealism again.

How exactly do you "clean up the past?"

Unfortunately the mess in America began centuries ago or longer. But we should still try.

Marianne, if you really want to atone for what happened, why don't you renounce your US citizenship, and return ti Europe.

You don't want to clean up the past. You want to erase the past. George Santayana said it best; "Those who can not remember the past are destined to repeat it". You can/ should not erase past, teach what should/ could have been done and do better. Miltry medals should be kept.
