In October 2023, one monument met its end for the sake of another. A bronze equestrian statue of the Confederate general Robert E. Lee that had stood in Charlottesville, Virginia since 1924 was sent to the furnace to be melted down, piece by piece, and formed into uniform rectangular ingots. The dev...

Yesterday I witnessed a peaceful student protest/encampment that started on Wednesday turn into a s**t show by the police. For reasons still unclear to me the police decided to show up in full military styled fatigues and proceeded to disperse the crowd and dismantle the encampment with violence/force, that move was uncalled for in my opinion.

Here are a couple clips from my witness stand.

Honored beyond words to be on TIME's Top 100 Photos of 2023,.

Making this photo of the statue being cut up and melted in the over 2000-degree furnace brought to me a great sense of honor and humility. It got me thinking about my journey through the story of the statue of General Robert E. Lee in Charlottesville.
 
From when the talks of taking down the statue started in 2016, the numerous protests, the 2017 ku klux klan parade, the Tiki Torch burning at the park by white nationalists, the Unite the Right rally by white nationalists in 2017, me taking a punch to the face by a white dude wearing a tee shirt with Hitler’s face perched on the Sw****ka,  the death of Heather Heyer and all the other traumatic events that followed, all because of this damn statue!
 
I feel honored to be where I am today, especially as an immigrant, to have had the great opportunity to help tell the story of my community and to be amongst the very few to witness the cutting up and melting of this statue – this catalyzation of change with a  direct throughline to the history of slavery that has weaved itself into the story of America. The story of us.
 
Melting down this symbol of oppression and hate, transforming it into hopefully something of peace and love for the entire community to enjoy – this, to me, is a befitting ending to the story. And a testament to our resilience as a community.
