A symbol of resistance

Charlemagne Péralte

Charlemagne Péralte was a Haitian resistance leader shot by U.S. forces during the 1915 occupation.

After Péralte's death, U.S. troops displayed his body posed in a way that resembled a crucifixion – tied upright with a Haitian flag draped over him. This photo was intended to intimidate the Haitian population.

However, it backfired. The image resonated with Haitians, making Péralte a martyr and a symbol of resistance. There's even a famous Haitian painting called "The Crucifixion of Charlemagne Péralte for Freedom."

Shit, sorry I'm late! I didn't initially plan on participating in @lazyvoyager's prompt since I couldn't come up with anything. Right until a day ago, as I was lying in bed, me brain went 💡

This man is not a real human!!

He's five racoons in a trench coat.

ok, i keedzy

He was just jumping zoo enclosures to pet all the animals.

That is, until he got to the terrarium and decided to snatch some residents. For a walk, not permanently! No clue what this "burglary" charge is about.

Anyway, good times. Cop shop seemed like a decent place to commemorate the occasion with a group photo. 👍👍👍

Gonna make a magnet out of it to slap on Rangers' fridge.

Medal of Honor Monday: Charles Thomas

On this day in 1920, a hero is born. Charles Leroy Thomas didn’t set out to be a soldier. To the contrary, he was a college student, studying mechanical engineering when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor.

That attack rocked many lives, and Thomas was no exception. He was soon drafted into the Army. By August 1944, he was in France. He was then a second lieutenant commanding a company in a segregated unit, the 614th Tank Destroyer Battalion.

Thomas’s heroism came on December 14, 1944, as the Third Army worked its way across France towards the German border. The next target was the French village of Climbach, just five miles from the German border. The village had to be taken. German supply lines ran through that town.

Climbach might have been an important target, but it was also a difficult one.

The story continues here: https://www.taraross.com/post/tdih-charles-l-thomas-moh
