#commemorate — Public Fediverse posts

A vigil commemorating the lives of Columbus Blue Jackets hockey winger Johnny Gaudreau and his brother Matthew Gaudreau was held outside Nationwide Arena Wednesday night.

On Aug.29, the brothers “were killed on the eve of their sister’s wedding when they were hit by a suspected drunken driver while riding bicycles in their home state of New Jersey,” according to an Aug. 30 article from the Associated Press. 

The Columbus Blue Jackets invited fans to come celebrate the brothers’ lives. Several of Johnny Gaudreau’s teammates — including Cole Sillinger, Elvis Merzļikins and Erik Gudbranson — also attended.

A #Gay #Riot at a #Doughnut #Shop? The #Legend Has Some #Holes.

As #LosAngeles prepares to #commemorate the long-gone #CooperDonuts, #accounts of a renowned 1959 #uprising at one of its #stores are being called into question.

“It pains us to see #politicians making a fuss to ‘#honor #gay #history’ in this #performative manner, while real #LGBTQ+ #landmarks are #indanger,”

One year before the #ChineseExclusionAct was brought into effect, locally the #VictoriaBC #SchoolDistrict voted to #segregate #Chinese #students from the school system.
In 2022, on the 100th anniversary, the #GreaterVictoriaSchoolDistrict issued an #apology for this & the #ChineseCommunity marched to #commemorate the actions of students who walked out in protest of the segregation.

#Demonstrators march to #commemorate the #Nakba Day, Day of the #Catastrophe, on May 15, 1960 in #Damascus. This day marks the #displacement of hundreds of thousands of #Palestinians following the establishment of the #Israeli state in 1948. More than 700,000 Palestinians who fled or were expelled from their #homes in the #war that accompanied #Israel's #declaration of #independence took refuge in #Arab #countries, including #Syria.

For those who #celebrate, may you have a joyous #Thanksgiving.

For those who #commemorate, may reflection and solemnity provide some of what you’re needing.

And for everyone else, enjoy this #Thursday.
