[Antiracism] 11/23 PLYMOUTH, MA: 37th NAT'L DAY OF MOURNING

[Nick Camerota]

From: WMass International Action Center
============================
[PLYMOUTH, MA] NOVEMBER 23
ANNOUNCEMENT: 37th NATIONAL DAY OF MOURNING
Since 1970, Native Americans have gathered at noon on Cole's Hill in 
Plymouth to commemorate a National Day of Mourning on the U.S. thanksgiving 
holiday. Many Native Americans do not celebrate the arrival of the Pilgrims 
and other European settlers. Thanksgiving day is a reminder of the genocide 
of millions of Native people, the theft of Native lands, and the relentless 
assault on Native culture. Participants in National Day of Mourning honor 
Native ancestors and the struggles of Native peoples to survive today. It is 
a day of remembrance and spiritual connection as well as a protest of the 
racism and oppression which Native Americans continue to experience.

Join us as we dedicate the 37th National Day of Mourning to our brother, 
Native political prisoner Leonard Peltier. Add your voice to the millions 
world-wide who demand his freedom. Help us in our struggle to create a true 
awareness of Native peoples and demonstrate the unity of Indigenous peoples 
internationally. Help shatter the untrue glass image of the Pilgrims and the 
unjust system based on racism, sexism, homophobia and war.
