👑 🇬🇧 Empire Day: The Hidden Narrative on Queen Victoria's Birthday Empire Day was a day of celebration in the United Kingdom and its colonies, marking the pride and unity of the British Empire. Originating in 1902, it was observed on May 24th, the birthday of Queen Victoria, given her significant role in the expansion of the British Empire during her reign. Streets were decorated with flags, children sang songs of the Empire in schools, and people told stories of its 'benevolence' and 'greatness'. But this wasn't mere celebration; it was a powerful tool of indoctrination. It subtly ingrained in the British psyche the idea that their Empire was noble and just. Yet beneath this facade of pomp and festivity, it symbolized a history of oppression and exploitation. An example of how celebrations can mask deeper, often uncomfortable truths, and how false narratives can be deeply embedded in societal celebrations. By the late 1950s, as the empire began to decline, Empire Day changed into the more subdued 'Commonwealth Day,'( in March), focusing on unity and cooperation rather than imperial dominance. Historical narratives are essential for understanding the past and shaping an equitable and informed future. #history #education #Britain

Memorial Day: Cultural Icon We the people are united by a common culture, one for which brave citizens fight and die. Culture is purposeful and must be nurtured - this is true for businesses, for communities, and for our nation. Memorial Day is this: a uniting nurturing of our national culture, a communal honoring of those who have given their lives that our culture and values might endure. This culture and these values are enshrined in our Constitution, the guiding principles for this the greatest of nations. On Memorial Day you might visit a cemetery or local graveyard and contemplate how you - yes you - could nurture our culture. I'd imagine that if we each work to nurture our ever-evolving culture we might be more united as a people. Wouldn't this be wonderful? Please say thank you to each flag-decorated grave marker you see. -George PS: what's in a name? A burial ground is a generic term often applied to unorganized fields of graves. A 'graveyard' is organized, as we have near churches and synagogues. 'Cemetery 'is based on the Ancient Greek for 'sleeping place' and is properly used to designate ground dedicated to a particular group, for example as the Arlington National Cemetery is for our military.
