Dr. D. Elisabeth GlasscoIn 1943, U.S. forces in Britain expected to export racial segregation. When white American Military Police (MPs) insisted a local pub segregate, the owner said he would. When MPs returned next day, they were met with “Blacks Only” signs & British barmaids telling white soldiers to wait their turn when they thiught they would be served before black soldiers. This set the stage for the epic Battle of Bamber Bridge.

Yesterday, @ABC tweeted a headline that declared that Moms for Liberty were “fighting back.”
MANY people asked:fighting against what? It was an example of both sides-ism and normalization par excellence.
After lots of people objected, they removed it.
NEVER forget that your voice matters. And that the voice of the people can have real power.
