Thai king calls for unity after protesters turn back on motorcade
Thai PBS - November 15, 2020
The anti-establishment demonstrators had gathered at the capital’s Democracy Monument in the latest of months of protests against Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha, demanding changes to the constitution as well as reforms of the monarchy.
The protesters draped the centrepiece of the monument, which has become a rallying point for the protests, in a cloth covered in grievances and insults. “Dictatorship be destroyed, democracy shall prosper,”
As the motorcade carrying shouted protesters who scaled the three-metre structure. the king and Queen Suthida passed by they turned their backs, gave the three-fingered “Hunger Games” salute of pro-democracy campaigners, and sang the national anthem in the latest show of disaffection with the monarchy.
The king was greeted with a show of support when he arrived at the rail ceremony in the west of the city, where thousands of people had gathered in yellow shirts, waving national flags and chanting “long live the king”.
“He told me to show children how important the unity of the country is,” said Donnapha Kladbupha, 48, a teacher who posed for selfies with the king.
The Royal Palace has not commented since the start of the protests, but the king said two weeks ago that the protesters were still loved and that Thailand was a land of compromise.
“Think well, do good, be hopeful, endure. Have unity in being Thai,” the king wrote on the back of a picture of himself and the queen which had been held up by one supporter.
The initial focus of protests that began in July was to seek the removal of Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha. But demonstrators have increasingly called for reforms to the monarchy, breaking a long-standing taboo against criticising the institution – an offence punishable with 15 years in jail.
“Without the people, the government and monarchy will have no power,” said Panusaya Sithijirawattanakul, one of the protest leaders. “Are they willing to take a step back or find a consensus that we can agree on?”

The New Jersey Army and Air National Guard celebrated Unity Day on Thursday, June 18, 2015 at the National Guard's Joint Training and Training Development Center at Fort Dix, New Jersey. This year's observance kicked off with a 5K Fun Walk/Run followed by official ceremonies.
The New Jersey National Guard was the first state militia in the country to desegregate. In April of 1930, with the full support and encouragement of then Governor Alfred Driscoll, the State Legislature took the unprecedented step of approving the formation of the First Separate Battalion, New Jersey Army National Guard. Even though these actions were in apparent violation of federal law, the state appropriated funds for the organization of this battalion. In July of 1931, 63 members of Company A of New Jersey's newest unit were mustered-in at an old movie theater in Newark, New Jersey.

About the Painting:
This painting symbolizes the unity many families experienced after they were reunited after the war. I hope for more unity in Liberia.
This painting was stretched for the art exhibit, but was taken off the stretcher boards to transport back to the States. Can be restretched.
About the Artist:
My name is Augustus Kollie. I am 21 years old, and I was born in Kakata City. During the war, I lived mostly in Paynesville with my family. It was a difficult time, and there were many days that we didn't each much. Some days, we didn't eat anything at all. Many of my friends died. But I'm thankful that most of my family survived. After the war, I worked as a typist. I didn't begin to paint seriously until just this year. I met an artist who agreed to mentor me. Today, my dream is to go to art school and to become a professional painter. I want to do art at the fullest.
