@JorisBohnsonPM tangential, but relevant.
"Long before four of the largest faces on Earth were dynamited into the granite edifice of Mount Rushmore, the #Lakota #Sioux saw a different set of portraits: The mountain was known as Tȟuŋkášila Šákpe (the Six Grandfathers)."
"While Florence Nightingale is often credited in western literature as the pioneer of modern nursing and the first nurse, it's worth noting that Rufaida al Aslamia held this title 1,200 years before Nightingale."
Her father, Saad al Aslami, who was a physician, mentored and trained Rufaida to become a highly skilled medic... Rufaida played an active role in several battles, including Badr, Khaibat, Uhud, and Khandaq, where she used her medical expertise to treat wounded soldiers.
Rufaida is recognised as the first known nurse in Islamic history, who established a tent outside the Prophet's mosque to provide medical care to patients, wounded individuals, and those suffering from diseases.
She also played a significant role in resolving social issues that emerged due to illnesses within her community. Besides, she trained and educated other women interested in nursing.
Prophet Muhammed recognised Rufaida al Aslamia's contributions and rewarded her with an equal share of the spoils of war, at the same rate as the soldiers. Rufaida's inspiring social work continued even after the wars ended, extending her efforts to help those in need, especially the poor and orphans.

History of the #Nisei ‘Go For Broke’ WWII unit #removed from #Army #website
The history of the 442nd #RegimentalCombatTeam has been removed from the U.S. Army’s official website.
The 442nd, combined with the 100th Infantry Battalion, remains the #most #decorated #combat #unit in #history for its size and length of service. The World War II unit was made up mostly of second generation #JapaneseAmericans.

The FL Dept. of Education is doubling down on the premise that chattel slavery wasn't so bad.
Approved just in time for the coming school year is Prager U's narrative (w Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens, no less) that slavery was better than death. (Some who were enslaved killed their own children to spare them from degradation, rape, torture, and unrelenting, unpaid labor, so there's that.)
