“The hand covering the mouth represents the silence of the international community in the face of the #genocide …. The finger pointing to the temple symbolizes the millions of Congolese living under the constant threat of armed violence and honors the more than 15 million people who have been killed”
“Children.
Let that sink in.
According to a new UN inquiry, Israeli authorities and security forces have deliberately targeted Palestinian children in Gaza, resulting in genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes.
No government, army, ideology, or political argument can make the killing, starvation, displacement, and traumatizing of children morally acceptable. A world that excuses the destruction of children has lost its moral center.
We must not grow numb. We must demand an end to genocide, protection for Palestinian children, unrestricted humanitarian aid, accountability for these atrocities, and every child's right to live in dignity, safety, and peace.”
— Bernice King

“among the leading slaveholders — and rebels — were Samuel Adams, John Hancock, and James Otis. New England had been the epicenter of the slave trade for decades and it was the region’s leading personality — John Adams — who … ‘resorted to racism in opposing the “Stamp Act of 1765”’”

#otd 1917 — “From July 2 through July 5, 1917, at least 39—and by some estimate as many as 200—African Americans were shot, hanged, beaten to death, or burned alive after being driven into burning buildings. The riots caused more than $400,000 in property damage and prompted 6,000 African Americans—more than half of East St. Louis’s African American population—to flee the city.”
