Violet Ford Fletcher

The oldest survivor of the 1921 Tulsa Bloodbath passes away at age 111.
A relentless hero from one of the darkest chapters of US history.

You’re very welcome, Pipa.
Your sunset looks enticingly vibrant. It’s as if I can almost inhale the air.

This image shows a walk that would follow your sunset.

Sleep well over there, knowing that:
the exhibit honouring black soldiers from #W0II (removed by US staff from the #Margraten cemetery in the Netherlands) was replaced right next to the site by the Dutch tv show #EvenTotHier. The ceremony was viewed nationwide. #BLM.

However, we Dutch are responding less quietly; filing official requests for the return of the memorials, as well as starting several initiatives to create our own memorial just outside the cemetery grounds.
These “Black Liberators” are our heroes, and we will keep honouring them.

The Dutch honour all of their American liberators,
like Soldier’s Medal recipient tech. 4th class

George H. Pruitt

His commemorative panel was removed from Margraten American cemetery by order of the US DoD.
We Dutch respect our Black Liberators, regardless of the current anti-DEI madness.

People, PLEASE read this!👇
Christopher Browning explains how ordinary German civilians were drawn into the Nazi brutality, becoming horrific war criminals themselves. The parallels with ICE are eerie.

Lot of work ahead, but on the right track, I’d say. Kudos!!
