Lullaby ღ

I remember a teacher telling me how Archaeologists would hack off the noses of statues they found in order to remove any indication that it was of a black person or any POC. It hurts me to think of all the art we’ve lost and damaged because of historical revisionism and flat out racism.

I’m just reblogging this to add something. I have had this queued for four months. FOUR. The fact that this has gained so much relevance in the past few weeks is heartbreaking.

Here’s a link to a Google Doc with a bunch of Indigenous organisations which you can donate to, including Black Rainbow (LGBTQIA+ Indigenous organisation) and groups that support incarcerated Aboriginal people and work towards ending Indigenous deaths in custody

This never stops becoming relevant. I just donated to the Minnesota Freedom Fund - other important causes are Reclaim the Block and Black Visions if you can support them!
