Pavlich: This is an attack on America
By Katie Pavlich, opinion contributor — 06/24/20 08:15 AM EDT
Since the death of George Floyd on May 25, 2020, protests have erupted across the country in the name of racial equality. A month later, that noble cause has been hijacked by anti-American anarchists focused on destroying the country from the inside out. They’re doing this by stoking further division and tearing down important history.
It started on May 30 when the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., was vandalized. After a brutal Civil War victory to save the Union, President Lincoln declared freedom for slaves in the Confederacy through the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. He was assassinated for doing so.
Given the Lincoln Memorial’s important history of progress, it became the same place where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave his famous and crucial “I Have a Dream†speech. The very spot where King stood while the country listened is etched into the stone, somewhat weathered all these years later. It is there so we always remember and reflect on his words about the importance of being judged by the content of our character, rather than the color of our skin.
