Two panels commemorating the contribution of Black American soldiers towards the liberation of the Netherlands in World War Two have been quietly removed from a cemetery in Limburg. It follows a complaint by right-wing think tank The Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission.

Op Margraten zijn twee panelen over zwarte Amerikaanse bevrijders van Nederland opeens weg. ‘Past bij beleid van de regering-Trump’
Op de Amerikaanse begraafplaats in Margraten is het opeens stil geworden rond de zwarte Amerikanen die hielpen Nederland bevrijden. Twee panelen die hun bijdrage herdachten – én wezen op hun strijd tegen racisme binnen het leger – werden zonder toelichting verwijderd.

De ironie van de geschiedenis: de Vlaamse regering zet het mes in instellingen die historisch onderzoek naar de geschiedenis en taal van Vlaanderen mogelijk maken: de Koninklijke Vlaamse Academie van België voor Wetenschappen en Kunsten, de KANTL, sociale en humane wetenschappen aan de universiteit.
De fiere Vlaamse leeuw wordt niet getemd, hij wordt gewoon weggesaneerd
Het is best ironisch dat net de Vlaamse regering het historisch onderzoek in Vlaanderen op droog zaad zet, schrijven vijf historici. Of wil ze ruimte scheppen voor een eigen interpretatie van het verleden en de invloed van wetenschappelijke kritiek beperken?
