February dates remembered for when white people decided the fate of people of color:⁣ ⁣ *1-28/29: Black history.⁣ ⁣ * 27: Apache Trail of Tears (1875).⁣ ⁣ * 19: Day of Remembrance, WWII Japanese incarceration.⁣ ⁣ * 6-9: Seattle anti-Chinese riot (1886).⁣ ⁣ * 2: The U.S. expands its territory from Texas to the Pacific Ocean and north to Colorado and Wyoming via the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo (1848).⁣ ⁣ * 1: Claiming to be “first of its kind,” @camberoutdoors CEO Outdoors Equity Pledge (2019) disregards an outdoor industry diversity pledge offered a year earlier by a group of POCs led by a black woman⁣ ⁣ ** Camber’s social-media account is posting a statement in response to posts like this, justifying its “first of its kind” claim and also claiming it reached out to the founder of the Outdoor CEO Diversity Pledge to work together. I hope that response gets added here so we can discuss!! ⁣ ⁣ https://www.diversifyoutdoors.com/pledge⁣ ⁣ ⁣ @teresabaker11 ⁣ #DiversifyOutdoors⁣ #DecolonizeNature

A Northern Harrier lands in the foggy nearby and this juvenile Bald Eagle is ... unconcerned. #eagle #bird #birds #birdwatching #wildlife #wildlifephotography #fog
