Today is the anniversary of the Kent State Massacre.   The body of Jeffrey Miller.   Alison Krause and Jeffrey Miller, both of whom were participating in the protest at the time of the shooting.   William Schroeder and Sandra Scheuer, who were just walking from one class to another.

I'm a Kent State student and one of my professors dedicated one of my classes last week towards walking the class around the area in which the massacre occurred and informing us as to what exactly happened. Didn't know a lot of the finer details before then, especially not the bit about the National Guard turning and firing on dispersing students.  Best shot of the memorial I could find.

Kent State is doing all it can to honor the students that died on May 4th . They even put lights up in the spots where they were killed after they turned it into a parking lot. The memorial was planned to be a lot bigger, but it (and the event itself) has always resistance from the administration. People still blame the entire thing on the hippies that trucked in from Hiram and Oberlin.

 Sculpture George Segal made as commemoration for the shootings. The university didn't want it and so its now at Princeton's Sculpture Garden. It depicts Abraham and Isaac.

Orange Devil posted:Reminder that most Free French troops were colonials, primarily from North and Sub-Saharan Africa, such as this man from Chad. And they got hosed really hard after the war by being denied pensions and other veterans benefits.  A little known part of history: Prior to the war Germany had toyed with the idea of making Brittany a puppet state after a successful invasion of France as a childish sort of revenge against France for taking Alsace and Lorraine back. During the 30s Breton fascists had contacts with the German government, even allegedly receiving a few small arms shipments in the late 30s. The plan was for the Breton fascists to conduct an uprising in Brittany to divert French forces away from the German front. The Breton fascists way overstated their numbers (the Breton militias during the occupation had no more than a few hundred members) to the Germans, the Germans found out and decided to drop the whole plan. During the occupation they were given leave to form militias and persecute leftists while conducting the creepy political theater all fascists seem to love. The backlash against right wing nationalists lasts to this day, hence why all but a tiny handful of Breton nationalists nowadays are left wing.  The tiny handful of modern fascists don't even bother to not use the Breton version of the German war ensign. Those poor kids

I just stumbled upon a couple of images on my hard drive I saved ages ago. I don't remember exactly, but I think it is from a German translation of Alain Manesson Mallet's Description de l'Universe (1683). "The peoples of Zanguebar"  "The inhabitants of the Sonda islands"  "The women of Syria"  "Zaogani, King of the Blacks" (No further information about him, sorry)  "The Arabs"  "The Blacks"  "Count Mogol"  "The Japanese"  "The peoples of Congo"  "The King of Persia"  "The Persians"  "An old Knight Hospitaller"  "The Mandarins or knights"  "The peoples of Monomotapa"

Kent State chat reminded me of the sculpture they put on my campus to commemorate it, I guess by the same guy who did one at Kent. "Bridge Over Troubled Waters," Don Drumm, at BGSU Drumm also did the trippy mural all over the side of the library

I don't remember exactly, but I think it is from a German translation of Alain Manesson Mallet's Description de l'Universe (1683). I looked up the original French books on Google Books and it's a pretty interesting read. There's a chapter on Corsica and I love how the French stereotypes about Corsican people haven't changed in centuries "They hate working and love hunting: they are the most revengeful people in the world and their hatred is the most dangerous.They love weapons" "Corsican man". Being half-Corsican myself, gun culture and hunting is definitely a thing on the island and vendetta (honor murders) were very murderous up to the 20th century, but reading about the lazy Corsican stereotype in the 17th century has me in stitches. When Corsica is in the news radio or tv show hosts make jokes how they don't any problem with Corsicans because they like their cars/houses too much and don't want it to be bombed  Parody of the Regional Corsican news by les Inconnus: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAyzSnJ_SGk (They did the same gag with the Basque: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUhj9cIDo7Q) Edit: VVVVVVVVV: Yeah he came in France to be educated as a child and he was nicknamed "La paille au nez" (straw in the nose), based on the Corsican pronunciation of Napoleon: Napulione.

In celebration of Cinco de Mayo I think we should all have a moment of silence for the rightful Mexican king. And a moment to celebrate him getting the just desserts every King deserves:  I've always sorta wondered if he actually wore that hat when they killed him.

Mister Bates posted:Holy gently caress, that man has no chin. It's like his face just seamlessly transitions into his neck. Also, that is a glorious neckbeard. The Gooniest King. Maximilian I was most definitely the gooniest king of the all. As I understand it, Napoleon III needed something to legitimize his conquest of Mexico and his war against Benito Juarez, so he decided to entice Mexican traditionalists and the European elite by acquiring a puppet king to set up as head of the Mexican proxy state. As it turned out, though, nobody in Europe wanted such a poo poo posting, and all of the actual important nobility refused his offer. So Napoleon need to finded someone with blue blood pretty desperately, and ended up scraping the bottom of the barrel to come up with Maximilian I, a useless Habsburg pretty low on the food chain from Austria. I actually almost feel sorry for the guy. He was pretty pathetic, Napoleon III offered him a sweet gig, and it ended up getting him executed. Dude should've fled back to Europe when the getting was good.

Trench_Rat posted:maxmilian chat Not very well, he's pretty much seen as a despotic rear end in a top hat, while his uncle Napoleon I is regarded as a great military leader and reformer. I remember we had this caricature in our school books:  Napoleon the Great vs Napoleon the Little. The fact that he sent Victor Hugo, one of the most revered authors of France, in exile on Jersey and Guernesey for criticizing him (Hugo was the one who came up with "Napoleon the Little") certainly doesn't help. Cinco de Mayo and the Mexican War aren't something we study in school though, we concentrate on colonization and the Franco-Prussian War that led to his abdication.  His mustache is something though. Edit: his face on coins:
