A mural painted nearly 70 years ago at the University of Rhode Island is set to be taken down after staff said students complained about a lack of diversity in the picture.
1954 was the dedication of “The Memorial Union” at the University of Rhode Island.
When veterans returned from World War II and enrolled at URI, they and other community members raised money in memory of those who lost their lives in the war.
Money raised was for a modern student union, which gave it the name, “Memorial Union.”
Arthur “Art” Sherman was a decorated returning veteran and member of the class of 1950, a predominately all-white class.

they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened."

This is how far our society has devolved. We were one people much more back then than today.
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”

Just over seventy six years ago men their age stormed the beaches of Normandy. Now young people can't handle the fact a mural isn't diverse enough. Times have changed.
It should also be noted, the heads of the University are a bunch of pus**** for allowing this to happen.
