When They Came Down—A People's History of Reclaiming our Space from Genocide, Colonialism, and Slavery
This is intended to be a people's history of removing the public legacies to genocide, colonialism, and slavery from public space. This is about removing statues, plaques, art, and other testaments to the shameful legacies of white supremacy and colonialism worldwide.
The removal of any publicly-visible memorial, monument, statue, or other noteworthy memento of a time when the privileged oppressed the vulnerable. This can be either through direct action, municipal action, or private action.
Contributions of all sorts are needed: edits, new content, or even just comments noting when/where something happened. Please see the next two items for more details.
At the top of this page, click "Issues". There, click the button that says "New Issue".
In the textbox that appears, go ahead and enter your content, paste any links, whatever. I'll convert it into the required format to publish.
Add a markdown post under content/post. Use previous posts as an example. For post date, try to get, as near as possible, the date and time the memorial was removed. Add photo credits, and try to provide many references, where possible.
Images go in static/img.
