On this date in 1096 the Worms massacre occurs as part of the First Crusade: the murder of nearly 1000 Jews from Worms, Holy Roman Empire (now Germany). Let us not forget what happens when religion becomes more important than human life and mixes with state power.

WATCH THIS. He gets it right Nottoway Plantation: the so-called “White Castle”, burned down. With it, a monument to whitewashed brutality. We don’t need romanticized nostalgia for slavery. We need truth. Let this be the end of pretending these places were anything but what they were: crime scenes.
