American Legion commander calls for resignation of Hudson officers after audio cut during veteran's speech on Black people’s role in Memorial Day

Retired Army Lt. Col. Barnard Kemter thought it was an audio glitch at first, but it was no glitch at all. His microphone was purposely muted for several minutes.

Horrible censorship and disrespect to a veteran. I must have missed this when it happened. I live nearby and Hudson is a great town. Glad there were repercussions for those responsible.

Yes, that happened.

In Hudson, Ohio, in 2021, retired Army Lt. Col. Barnard Kemter’s microphone was intentionally turned down during a Memorial Day speech when he began discussing the role of freed Black Americans in one of the earliest Memorial Day commemorations. Organizers initially claimed that portion was “not relevant” to the day’s program. The backlash was immediate. The Ohio American Legion called for resignations, said the censorship was deliberate, and the local post’s charter was suspended pending closure.

A veteran giving a Memorial Day speech gets cut off specifically when acknowledging Black Americans’ role in the holiday’s history… and the organizers thought that was the appropriate choice? The symbolism practically screams.

What made it worse was the initial justification—that it was somehow “not relevant.” The origins of the holiday being discussed on the holiday itself is about as relevant as it gets.

Fashion designer Bob and Model John. ☺️

I AM SCREAMING!!!!! It's not my birthday yet and you still gifted me with something from one of my favourite AUs of yours!!

Guys SERIOUSLY, just imagine a passionate independent fashion designer Bob, finally securing an affirmed model like John, who has lost more prestigious jobs because of some of his temperament issues. In the past years, Bob has drawn some outfits he dreamt of being able to make for John, and now that he finally has the chance he's eagerly showing all of his ideas to an amazed and flattered John. This is EVERYTHING!!!!

One of the most important things a man must bear in mind is this very thing - that he owes his fellow a transforming encounter.
