Alain Krijnen, the mayor of Eijsden-Margraten, where the cemetery is, sent a letter Monday to the commission: “We greatly value the story of the Black Liberators in relation to the past, present and future. In that context, we would greatly appreciate it if the story of the Black Liberators — like the 172 Black Liberators buried in Margraten — could be given permanent attention in the visitor center, and therefore reconsider the removal of the displays.”

The Netherlands American Cemetery previously had two displays honoring Black American soldiers’ experiences in World War II.

I am writing this as I sit in my in-laws’ house in Al Khalil (Hebron), Palestine. When I sat down to write, I thought about all the things I could write about. I could write about the checkpoints. Every town in the West Bank has become a sort of prison where the Israeli military can just close gates and cut off all the entrances to a town at random.
