Happy Memorial Day and thank you for your service, veterans! Here is a friendly reminder that Memorial Day was created by Gullah Geechee African Americans in Charleston, South Carolina in 1866.
“Pride of place as the first large scale ritual of Decoration Day, therefore, goes to African Americans in Charleston. By their labor, their words, their songs, and their solemn parade of flowers and marching feet on their former owners’ race course, they created for themselves, and for us, the Independence Day of the Second American Revolution.”

The attack comes less than two weeks after a gruesome beheading related to cartoons deemed sacrilegious to some Muslims.
