Dutch answer to the removal of the boards at #Margraten US military cemetery, honoring black US soldiers who died while liberating the Netherlands in WWII. This grave injustice went counterproductive for the US government, as shown.

@ErikJonker This image depicts a landscape scene with a sign in the foreground. The scene appears to be a grassy area with numerous trees scattered throughout, possibly a park or golf course. The sign is constructed of large, reddish-brown letters set into the green hillside. The letters are arranged to spell out the words "WILLYE JAMES" on one line, and "JR" on the second line. The image has a slightly painted or illustrated quality to it, with vibrant colors and defined outlines.

@ErikJonker

Unfortunately all the boards are removed already by the police. The TV program team is looking for another place to put them up again.

@ErikJonker @CiaraNi The signs were quite quickly removed again by police and military police, but an organisation called Stichting Black Liberators is considering where to place them permanently.

@cassana @ErikJonker Thanks for the update. Good for all of them, actively doing something.

@ErikJonker A fitting tribute to all the men who fought for our freedom and gave their lives. The exclusion of African-American soldiers is beyond disgusting. The US government should be deeply ashamed, but they have no conscience or decency.
