The Trump administration is institutionalizing racism everywhere, even resorting to Jim Crow tactics. As recently reported (“National Park Service drops free admission on MLK Day”), no longer will there be free admission on Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth. There will be free admission for Donald Trump’s birthday, however (June 14). Trump recently spent the weekend attacking Somalis with unhinged racism. All this follows his life of racist practices in real estate — all the way to the White House. On Trump’s birthday, let’s boycott national parks, the Kennedy Center and other institutions that have been reborn as symbols of white privilege. ~ Paul Josephson, Vinalhaven
