Some wonderful leftover images from the #IndigenousPeoplesDay action, #SinkingColumbus, in Boston. The action ended in #ChristopherColumbusPark (also needs renaming) with a beautiful celebration of Indigenous Taíno and African diaspora survival in the form of a dance performance. Drummers and vocalists accompanied dancers performing the #bomba, a dance developed as an act of resistance and a means of communication by the Indigenous and African peoples of #Boriken aka #PuertoRico. Go to @thenewdemocracycoalition to learn more about the efforts to #RenameFaneuilHall. It’s time to do this and far more - like, I don’t know, having at least ONE Black-owned business in Faneuil Hall instead of none? The city can at least rename the place - no sense in keeping a place named after a slaver whose last name no tourist can pronounce. In a perfect world this tourist magnet would be renamed, have diverse and locally-owned businesses that would actually bring money into the area instead of indistinguishable chain stores and franchises. #indigenouspeople #colonialism #genocideisnothingtocelebrate #fuckcolumbus #columbusday #boston #decolonize #fuckcolonialism #whitesupremacy #nojusticenopeace #indigenousrights #indigenouslivesmatter #blacklivesmatter #americanhistory #racisminamerica #racism #racismisavirus https://www.instagram.com/p/CGi9MmpApyu/?igshid=1nsqowqc15mkn
