Benjamin R. Tillman, post-reconstructionist governor (1890-1894) of South Carolina (and later U.S. Senator), is now roundly regarded as a virulent racist. He should not be honored with a statue. Take it down!!!

Well, they do say history repeats itself.
It hurts my eyes to look at this. I think I may have gone a little overboard.
The centennial pool demolition is under way. On a walk around the city to catch up on events happening June 18, 2014 Christchurch New Zealand.
Swimsuits have been hung on the fence around the Centennial Pool by campaigners against the complex's demolition.
The Armagh St facility is being pulled down to make way for the new Margaret Mahy Family Playground. The work is not expected to affect traffic in the surrounding streets.
Christchurch Central Development Unit (CCDU) director Warwick Isaacs said construction on the playground would begin this year.
The pool complex was closed after the February 2011 earthquake and the CCDU controversially bought it from the Christchurch City Council to form part of the city's recovery blueprint plan.
The council later looked at keeping the centre but was bound by a cost-sharing agreement with the Crown.

protesters celebrate on their barricades in gümüşsuyu after a wave of tear gas fired by the police. june 03 2013.
On a sunny and rather chilly June afternoon, activists and protesters showed up near the front entrance of the Cook County Jail on California Avenue to call for the defunding of not only the police, "but the entirety of the carceral system that works to control, harm, and destroy Black and brown lives throughout Chicago and the entire country." The event was hosted by the Chicago Torture Justice Center and Black Lives Matter Chicago. After meeting in front of the entrance, well over 100 protesters on foot and most likely the same number in vehicles circled the correctional facility. Those walking loudly expressed their support for reforms to the justice system and for the inmates just behind the walls of the facility. The vocal expressions were supported by those in their vehicles blowing their horns as they took up the rear of the march and caravan.

A demonstration against the Iranian regime at Sergels torg in Stockholm. The first one was back in September, when a group of women cut off their hair and burned their hijabs after the killing of Mahsa Amini. This is from the 30th of December. This protest was followed by another one, that one was in support of Afghan women.
In 1943 Gauleiter Paul Giesler spoke at the Ludwig Maximilian university.
Imagine the scene, the middle of WW2, nazi flags everywhere, high ranking nazis who could have you shot for even the slightest insult or 'defeatist' comment, many of the students actually wearing Wehrmacht uniform as they are also active soldiers.
When Giesler, a nasty piece of work, started talking about the female students, saying they shouldn't really waste time in school but concentrate on being mothers and give the fuhrer a few sons, how they weren't suitable for studying and if they couldn't find a husband because they were too ugly, he could find a few of his men to do the deed, the students were shocked and appalled.
But even in this nazi society, at a nazi indoctrinated institution, surrounded by nazis, having grown up in a time when the idea that women should indeed just be housewives and not study were actually quite common even among non-nazis, even in this situation, the students protested.
They started shouting, booing, disagreeing.
And even when Police officers with truncheons entered the hall and started wacking people, the students still would not be silenced.
And not just the girls who were forced to sit on the balcony, but also the male students sitting downstairs, many of whom in wehrmacht uniform, conscripted into the Wehrmacht.
The Gauleiter was forced to end his speech early and leave.
This public and dangerous protest encouraged members of one of Germany's most famous resistance groups die Weiße Rose to continue their work with renewed passion.
This story which sadly is mostly unknown, deserves some extra attention these days.
I find it very interesting that in 1943, in Nazi Germany, at an university students who had been living in a Nazi society and been bombarded by Nazi propaganda for over a decade, since their childhood, protested against a sexist Nazi speech.
Two subjects that somehow are way too relatable than they should be today.
A time when words like Nazism, feminism, rude and vulgar politicians, patriarchy, protesting, not taking the younger generation seriously, free speech, etc, etc, are again in the news in unexpected ways.
Disclaimer; I got the pictures from the movie 'Die weiße Rose' (1982) as there are none of the actual event.
This superb movie was made in the 1980s and tells the story of the German resistance group of the same name, not to be confused with the also very good 'Sophie Scholl - Die letzten Tage' (2005).
I highly advice you to go watch both these movies, the 1980s one first.
Although it is not my habit to promote illegal behaviour, I think the times we live in make it important to hear these stories and see the movies, no matter how you do it.
So check out youtube.

A big protest rally was held at Lee Circle, where a statue of Robert E. Lee stands high above the city of New Orleans. The protest was a result of the city deciding to remove 4 Confederate statues throughout the city. This is an attempt to improve the image of New Orleans by eliminating symbols of racism, white supremacy. The atmosphere has been pretty tense in the city since it was announced that the statues were coming down. Three were already removed and this is the last one, as per the mayor.
The first one removed was Liberty Place Monument, followed by Jefferson Davis and then P.T. Beauregard.
