On June 6 1944 #DDay his all #Black antiaircraft artillery battalion stormed the beaches of #Normandy

“War is gruesome. And I think most soldiers who came back, we don’t talk about it. We really don’t. It’s just, it’s beyond, it’s just beyond your imagination"

His grandparents were born into #slavery

He cofounded the first Black owned and operated commercial #bank in #NewEngland:

They denied him a home loan

Early Modern Diplomacy

#emdiplomat of the day: Renée du Bec-Crespin (ca. 1614-1659)

Renée du Bec-Crespin descended from an old noble family in #Normandy. In 1632 she married Jean-Baptiste de Guébriand, the later Marshal of France. Like many other #earlyModern married couples, the Guébriands formed a working couple, a term established by German historian Heide Wunder. Despite distinct gendered roles, norms and duties within a household, married couples complemented each other and worked together. However, a wife’s activities and scope of action could usually be characterised as more informal as her husbands.

This was not the case with Renée Du Bec-Crespin who from 1638 officially was authorized to conduct his husband’s businesses, act as a representative for his interests at the #court of #France, maintain relations to ministers as well as to take the role of the financial manager of his troops. (1/3)

Gabrielle Lepeletier lives at the "Farm of the Old Mill" at Blainville in Normandy. Her father was killed in the early days of the great war and she and her two sisters all help the mother to run the farm and to plant, cultivate and harvest the grain. Gabrielle is seven and she has been adopted by the 5th Balloon Company. Thanks to them, she will have a new warm dress next winter and will go to school. She wrote a letter to her god-fathers saying: "Dear Mother takes much pains to tell me about who you are so far away. When I am a little bigger, I shall write a longer letter. Your loving little ward, Gabrielle. The AMERICAN RED CROSS administers the funds for the maintanence of all the children adopted by the American troops

In the image, a young girl is standing in an agricultural field. She is holding a bundle of hay in her hands and appears to be posing for a photo. The girl is wearing a light-colored dress with a collar and a visible bow at the neckline. Her hair is styled neatly and she looks directly at the camera with a slight smile on her face. Behind her, there are large bales of hay stacked up, indicating that this might be a setting for harvesting crops. The image has an old-fashioned feel to it, possibly due to the clothing style and the quality of the photograph. There is text overlaid on the image providing additional context: "Gabrielle Lepeletier lives at the 'Farm of the Old Mill' at Blainville in Normandy. Her father was killed in the early days of the great war and she and her two sisters all help the mother to run the farm and to plant, cultivate and harvest the grain." This text suggests a story behind the image, possibly related to the American Red Cross and its support for children during wartime.

Amid the somber D-Day anniversary commemorations came some joy, as a 100-year-old U.S. veteran returned to Normandy to marry his 96-year-old bride. Harold Terens was a radio operator mechanic who traveled to Normandy to transport freed American prisoners of war to England, and wanted to marry in Normandy to have the soldiers killed on D-Day attend in spirit. "I want them to know that they're not forgotten, he told NBC News. He met his bride, Jeanne Swerlin, in 2021, after his wife of 70 years died. "Love is not only for the young. We still get butterflies," Swerlin said. "We get a little action also."

#POTUS #JoeBiden was invited by #France to speak during the #DDay80 anniversary at #Normandy. He was welcomed by President #Macron because #America left after France was liberated.

Once again, #VladimirPutin was not invited.

And if #Putin were to visit #Poland - which #Russian soldiers *temporarily* liberated 80 years ago - he would quickly be assassinated. See the difference?

#USpol #WWG1WGA is true, so #VoteBlue to #SaveAmerica and to #SaveDemocracy.
