Between 1910-1940, some 175,000 mostly Chinese arrivals were detained on Angel Island. In 1970, when the detention center’s buildings were due to be torn down, a park ranger noticed that the walls were inscribed with layers upon layers of poetry. Some 200 poems survive.

Just a few days after Columbia announces the Pulitzers, the university goes and suspends its own student journalists.
Several Columbia Univ student journalists are suspended after covering protests (while wearing press ID) in the main library.
Their access to campus is blocked, and they can't take final exams.
Also: Columbia's acting president is a former ABC journalist

I'm not sure which video to post--the fifteen paramedics in their last moments as one of them prays amid gunfire, the journalist being burned alive, the man holding a headless toddler, the people blown into the air, or the young man quietly rocking the shrouded body of a child.
It's a genocide.
