Ignorance on Display

My own ignorance, that is.

Michelle headlines her most recent post with a directive to "Never forget" -- and the event she is memorializing is one of which I've never heard, despite the fact that thousands died. It is a massacre that occurred on February 28, 1947, in Taiwan.

I believe I mentioned a while back that I need to read more about Asian history, and this reminds me of that.

Part of making sure that we "Never forget" something is to teach people about it in the first place. On that score, Michelle has reason to say, "Mission accomplished".
