Victoria Amelina was one of kindest and most charitable Ukrainian writers who did much more for others than for herself. She founded 2 literary festivals - in New York (Donbas) and in Kramatorsk, where her life was stopped by russian missile. RIP.

A monument to the victims of the russian aggression was inaugurated in Bucha. The names of 501 town residents whom russians killed are carved there. 501 innocent people in just one small town...

Yeah, my mom and dad's interracial marriage was illegal until I was a year old and then--later--they struggled to buy a home in their Long Island community because people didn't want to sell to a Black lady. Good times!
