We fight fascism and racism today, Jun 6, 2020 and we Americans fought fascism and racism on June 6, 1944. We were on the right side of history then. We are on the right side of history today.

“With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably. The first time any man’s freedom is trodden on we’re all damaged.”

The Cold War series from the BBC

I searched for a long time to find this series. I’ve always been fascinated by the Cold War. It was a strange engagement born out of the Nuclear Age and World War II and brought the world to near destruction on many occasions. It is only by the bravery and sanity by few on both the sides of the United States and the Soviet Union that you are reading this today.

With some of us having so much time on their hands, if you are looking for some extremely engaging content that takes you through the five decade saga of the Cold War, this twenty-four episode series originally form the BBC (rereleased by CNN) comes highly recommended.
