This is October 12 and I have forgotten to mention it in two classes so far. Today in Guatemalan protests against the putative heroism of Columbus and the Hispanization of America (which is colonization, Europeanization, whitening) one Native person has been killed so far that I know of.
Imer Boror, aged 19, was killed by gunfire as he participated in a blockade, shot by a motorist who wanted to get through.
There are protests throughout the Andes and perhaps elsewhere, but I have not had the chance to read up on events yet and will not have until tonight.
Axé.
