If you are a white/non-native American or Canadian, please keep indigenous people in your thoughts today and support them however you’re able to, whether financially or otherwise. Don’t forget about the National Day of Mourning.

If you’re an indigenous American or Canadian, I know today must be hard. Most Americans celebrate today, but for you, it’s a somber event. You are not alone. Some of us care. I will do everything in my power to keep the Indian Child Welfare Act in place. Let me know what I can do to better support you if you want. Otherwise, just try to be gentle with yourself today and do some self-care. I’m here for you.

There are over a million Americans who are older than Columbus Day.

Italian immigrants have been celebrating Columbus Day for about 157 years. That's only a century and a half in the long game.

Whose idea was it to celebrate a slave trader?

Ask the Catholic Church...

I wish for a great and peaceful memorial day to those celebrating, and especially those grieving/paying respects to the fallen

And for my many many friends outside of the United States

What is Memorial Day?

Memorial Day is a holiday in the United States celebrated on the last Monday of May.

It is to honor the dead and their mourning counterparts of those who have died while serving in the United States Military.

This is Arlington National Cemetery, a national cemetery in the United States dedicated to dead soldiers and veterans. It has become a symbol in itself for Memorial Day

There is usually a ceremony that can be viewed on the TV, local parades, and it is traditional to buy a poppy flower to honor the dead.

Taps is played, and a moment of silence is often done at least once in ceremonies/similar to honor the dead.

—Did you know that Juneteenth is also celebrated in a part of Mexico? Nacimiento Mexico was once home to thousands who escaped slavery in the US. As many as 10,000 slaves followed a clandestine Southern Underground Railroad to Mexico. —To date, many Black Mexicans from the Texas area retrace a portion of the same route their African American ancestors followed in 1850 when they escaped slavery. —Descendants of slaves who escaped across the southern border observe Texas’s emancipation holiday with their own unique traditions in the village of Nacimiento. —Slave hunters would patrol the southern border for escapees, led by the Texas Rangers but the Mexican army would be there waiting for them (the slave hunters) to turn them away.
