Unforgettable weekend as I will never ever forget my experience at #LittleRock National Cemetery. For the first time ever I was approached by a groundskeeper with a warning: “I see you walking the grounds & reading the tombstones of the Union soldiers.” Image
He continues “Young Lady, I am leaving now, but the sun is sitting [pointing to the sunset]. DO NOT stay here until the sun sets. See that MN soldier? [pointing to the MN statute] He guards this cemetery at night.” Image
He goes on “I have worked in this cemetery for 17 years. I have seen many things. He guards this cemetery. I see shoe prints of Union soldiers. You don’t stay here much longer. The sun is sitting. Let me explain, Young Lady.” Image

Tomorrow I’m opening my first grocery store in a Title One school. I doubt I sleep tonight - imagine a parent between checks who can order dinner and breakfast for their family thru our app and their child bring it home. I’m changing lives man, no one does it like me. Just wait!
Before Picture!
FYI this is in #Atlanta my hope is that we bring this to rural communities. Also I hope to bring one to #Memphis #Birmingham #LittleRock #JacksonMS #Nashville #Jacksonville #Tampa #Houston #CharlotteNC #Dallas #Newark #Camden #LasVegas #Chicago #StLouis #Detroit and so many more!

Je viens de finir la lecture de Little Rock, 1957 de @thomassnegaroff . Un ouvrage prenant, sur le refus de la déségrégation des lycées dans les États du Sud des USA, et l'entrée courageuse des 9 premiers élèves noirs dans un lycée alors réservé aux élèves blancs. /1
Une entrée maintes fois repoussée. Une entrée par la petite porte face à une foule ségrégationniste hostile. Une entrée sous les insultes, les crachats, les coups. Une rentrée scolaire encadrée par l'armée. /2
(Les 3 photographies sont de Will Counts et datent du 4 septembre 1957. La scène et la première photographie sont expliquées par T. Snegaroff dans ce thread) /3

Something that surprised me was how comfortable the #LittleRock police were around these guys. The cops made them all confirm that they were carrying unloaded, but didn’t make them place it on ground to check etc.
Like this is is a selective screenshot from the video before. I understand it was momentary, but this guy inadvertently pointed a gun at a cop and nobody said anything about it.

This in contrast to police shootings over phones or “reaching” for nothing, etc.
Here are some of the #Antifa counter-demonstrators that showed up. There were probably 3-4x as many counter-demonstrators as the white nationalists, and as many cops as both sides combined.

A big theme for antifa was #ICE, who they see as the enforcement arm of a nazi agenda.
