Some of the most sacred places for American Indian nations are located in national parks, but access to their holy ground continues to be contentious. Though the National Park Service has gradually become more responsive and cooperative, full recognition of Indigenous sacred places is still a long way off.

Today In Labor History March 26, 1918: American anarchist Philip Grosser wrote about being tortured in the prison on Alcatraz Island, while serving time there for refusing to serve in World War I. By 1920, he was the only draft resistor still serving time at Alcatraz. Alexander Berkman referred to him as "one of [my] finest comrades."

Cover of Grosser's pamphlet, "Alactraz, Uncle Sam's Devil's Island," with blue cover and sketch of the prison building on Alcatraz island. The pamphlet is laying over a page in Grosser's biography, with a sketch of Grosser, looking straight ahead, clean shaven, in a suit and tie.

Shoot things you see because they may not last. This is a statue of Columbus, which used to be below the Coit Tower, and in times of enlightenment was removed. Well, they said "that the statue was removed as it "doesn't align with San Francisco's values or our commitment to racial justice" ," but there were threats that it would be thrown off pier 31 and it had already been vandalized. ;)

A stature of a man in a billowing cloak is standing towards the right of the image, looking over trees towards a view of an island in a bay, with rolling hills with many homes on the other side of the bay. The depth of field softens the view of the island and beyond but we see a huge old structure on the rocky island.
