These men were the Senegalese Tirailleurs—African soldiers recruited from across France's West African colonies, including present-day Senegal, Mali, Guinea, Burkina Faso, and Niger. When Nazi Germany invaded France in 1940, they fought and died defending a country that was not their own. Thousands served on the front lines, facing the same artillery, machine guns, and tanks as their white comrades. Many were captured by the Nazis and endured years of imprisonment under brutal conditions. But for many survivors, the greatest betrayal came not from Germany, but from the very nation they had fought to defend — France ! After the war, African veterans returned expecting the pay, pensions, and respect promised to them for their service. Instead, they encountered discrimination, delayed wages, and unequal treatment. On 1 December 1944, a group of demobilized Tirailleurs at the Thiaroye military camp near Dakar protested over unpaid salaries and benefits. French colonial forces opened fire on them, killing 500 veterans. Historians are convinced that the true death toll was likely much higher than this. They fought for France against fascism, survived Nazi captivity, and came home only to be met with bullets from the French colonial state. It did not end there. In 1945, 34 of the Senegalese veterans, who were thought to be the instigators of the protest, were tried and given sentences of upto ten years. They were later pardoned as French President Vincent Auriol visited Senegal in March 1947, but they were not exonerated, and their widows were never awarded the veteran pensions usually granted to widows of fallen soldiers. The Thiaroye massacre is not taught in schools in France, and a Senegalese film about the massacre released in 1988, Camp de Thiaroye, was both banned in France and censored in Senegal.

In May 1944, 23-year-old Phyllis Latour jumped out of a US bomber and parachuted into occupied Normandy, France. Her mission was to gather information about Nazi positions in preparation for D-Day. Once on the ground, she quickly buried her parachute and clothes, and began a secret mission that would last four months, pretending to be a poor teenage French girl. Phyllis had been trained by the British Special Operations Executive (SOE). She learned how to send secret messages in Morse code, how to fix wireless radios, and how to spy without being caught. She also went through tough physical training in the Scottish highlands. Phyllis wanted to get revenge on the Nazis who had killed her godfather. Phyllis said, “The men who had been sent before me were caught and killed. I was chosen because I would be less suspicious.” She would ride a bicycle through the region, pretending to sell soap, and secretly pass messages to the British about German locations. She acted like a country girl chatting with German soldiers to avoid raising suspicion. She moved from place to place to stay hidden and often slept in forests finding her own food. Phyllis also came up with a clever way to hide her secret codes. She wrote them on a piece of silk and pricked it with a pin each time she used a code. She kept it hidden inside a hair tie. Once when the Germans briefly detained her and searched her she took out the hair tie and let her hair fall, showing she had nothing to hide. In the summer of 1944, Phyllis sent 135 coded messages helping Allied bombers find German targets. After the war, Phyllis married and moved to New Zealand. Her children didn’t know about her wartime service until 2000, when her oldest son found out online. This hero passed on October 7, 2023. May she rest In peace.

¿Acaso los antiguos mayas desaparecieron? La respuesta es no. Los mayas no desaparecieron: las grandes ciudades del periodo Clásico fueron abandonadas gradualmente por múltiples factores, pero su gente sobrevivió y transformó su manera de vivir. Con la llegada del siglo XVI y la conquista, muchas prácticas religiosas, rituales y costumbres cambiaron o se mezclaron con nuevas tradiciones, mientras otras resistieron el paso del tiempo. Esta poderosa idea quedó retratada en una histórica portada de la revista Life de 1947, titulada “Ancient and Modern Maya”. La imagen establece un diálogo visual entre el pasado y el presente: un hombre maya contemporáneo junto a una escultura ancestral, recordándonos que la civilización maya no es una reliquia extinguida, sino una cultura viva. Hoy, millones de personas mayas continúan habitando México y Centroamérica, conservando lenguas, conocimientos y tradiciones que conectan directamente con una herencia milenaria.

“Las historias indígenas no se cuentan, se heredan con la sangre y la memoria.” Tal día como hoy, 7 de junio de 1954, nacía en Minnesota Louise Erdrich, una de las voces más importantes y poderosas de la literatura indígena contemporánea de Estados Unidos. Con esta frase, Erdrich resume la esencia de su obra y de su herencia: para los pueblos originarios, las historias no son simples relatos que se narran, son parte viva de la identidad, se transmiten a través de la sangre, la memoria ancestral y la experiencia colectiva. Sus novelas (La casa redonda, El último informe sobre los milagros en Little No Horse, El amor medicinal) son un puente entre el mundo indígena y el lector, llenas de espiritualidad, dolor, humor y resiliencia. De ascendencia ojibwe y alemana, Erdrich ha dedicado su vida a dar voz a las comunidades nativas, sus luchas, su cosmogonía y su profunda conexión con la tierra y los antepasados. Gracias por recordarnos que las verdaderas historias no se leen… se sienten en la sangre.
