"Reflecting on the Evolution of Holocaust Remembrance"

This year's International Holocaust Remembrance Day holds particular significance following the recent massacre and kidnapping in Israel, with many drawing parallels between the horrors of the Holocaust and the October 7th attack. Leaders and organizations emphasize the need for global unity in standing against all forms of hate, while also expressing disillusionment at the rise in anti-Semitic incidents and the conditional nature of privilege. Despite the current sorrows, there is a call for hope and resilience, with a focus on the resurrection of hope and the defining qualities of love, joy, and kindness within the Jewish community.

Uncovering the Hidden Truth: Native American Boarding Schools' Impact on Generations

The National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition has released a new list of Indigenous boarding schools in the United States, revealing that Native American children have attended at least 523 such schools since the 19th century. This surpasses the previously reported number of institutions. The majority of these schools were run by the federal government to assimilate children into White society. The list includes both closed and currently operating schools, with 125 still open. Efforts to raise awareness about the legacy of boarding schools have gained momentum, with Interior Secretary Deb Haaland launching an initiative to investigate the schools. The Interior Department's initial investigation found that 19 boarding schools accounted for the deaths of over 500 Native American children, with the expected number of recorded deaths to be in the thousands or tens of thousands.

Unearthing the Tragic Fate of Native American Boarding School Children

Archaeologists have begun excavating a field in Nebraska in search of the remains of children who died at the Genoa Indian industrial school, one of over 400 Native American boarding schools that separated Indigenous children from their families. The grave sites of these children have been lost for decades, but with the help of newspaper clippings, records, and ground-penetrating radar, researchers have identified a potential burial site. The excavation process will determine if there are human remains present, and if so, the state archaeology office will work with the Nebraska commission on Indian affairs to decide the next steps, which could include reburial or returning the remains to tribes. The federal government is also examining the boarding school system, with an initial report released in 2022.

Judge Dismisses Lawsuit for Tulsa Race Massacre Reparations

A judge in Oklahoma has dismissed a lawsuit seeking reparations for the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, which saw a white mob destroy the prosperous Black district of Greenwood. The lawsuit, brought by three survivors of the attack, aimed to obtain legal justice and compensation for the ongoing racial and economic disparities resulting from the massacre. The judge's decision has disappointed the survivors, who are all over 100 years old, and a group supporting the lawsuit has suggested they may appeal. The city of Tulsa remains committed to addressing the historical event and its impact on the community.
