Just in case you briefly catch yourself falling for two-sided debates on opinion articles, social media commentary, or in family conversations regarding the removal of certain symbols from public spaces, or which ones should stay or should go, we HIGHLY recommend you grab our summer book and read it FAST. Forks should have been stuck, ships should have sailed and trains should have left those stations DECADES AGO.

On June 10th, 2020, a statue of former Belgian King Leopold II, a controversial figure in the history of Belgium, was vandalized in Ghent, Belgium. TODAY this same statue was finally removed. TODAY the King of Belgium sent his “deepest regrets” to the President of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) for the “suffering and humiliation” his nation inflicted while it colonized the region.

This is strictly about PAINTING /s. Katherine Hepburn plays a gallery owner, art dealer, and curator in San Francisco who fires a gallery employee with racist opinions. We would have loved to see what the “yellow painting with blue balls” was all about, though. Maybe a #SamFrancis? The movie is 1965’s Guess Who’s Coming For Dinner. We reposted from @goodoldmovies.

? by #rooflesspainter @FarrelLevy for the series ?????????, inspired by images of toppled monuments. On June 10th, 2020, American Indian Movement activists toppled the statue of Christopher Columbus in Saint Paul, Minnesota, as part of the series of protests following the killing of George Floyd. In the wake of the 2015 Charleston church shooting and the 2017 Unite the Right rally, the future of the Columbus statue was discussed. On 2017, a petition sought to replace the statue with one of Prince. The statue is currently in an undisclosed location.

FIVE YEARS AGO today, June 26 2015, the Supreme Court declared same-sex marriage legal In all 50 states. We want to recognize that if it weren’t for trans women of color, there would be no LGBTQ+ rights, there would be no Pride, and there would be no same-sex marriage today. Black Trans Lives Matter a big deal, but they’re still getting the short end of the stick, 50 years on and counting. #SylviaRivera came on stage in 1973 to a booing audience of gay people. Her ‘Y'all Better Quiet Down’ electrifying speech flipped the history switch. Don’t you ever forget it. #TRANSWOMENAREWOMEN
