We honor the life of Lawrence Brooks, who passed away at the remarkable age of 112-the oldest known WWII veteran. Drafted into the U.S. Army in 1940 at 31, he served with the segregated 91st Engineer Battalion and was deployed to the Pacific, where he spent the war in Australia, New Guinea, and the Philippines. There, he played a vital role behind the front lines-driving trucks across difficult terrain, cooking for officers, and helping construct the roads, bridges, and airstrips that supported Allied operations.
After returning home to New Orleans, Lawrence built a full life-working for decades as a forklift operator, raising five children, and watching his family grow through generations. His life, spanning more than a century, stood as a powertul example of dedication, resilience, and quiet strength.
May he be remembered with honor-God bless Lawrence Brooks, and thank you for your service.

The U.S. gov broke the levees and let black people in NOLA starve and drown in bacteria water THEN they let yt fake cops kill beat and burn them THEN when they sent rescue helicopters to the roofs they ignored black people but yes privilege bc Obama and McDonalds good point
ICE killed Reuben Martinez while he was driving through their officers and vehicles. Officers shouted commands; footage shows he drove slowly and carefully. He went around an officer in front of his car, then another officer shot three bullets from the passenger side. The government claimed he ran over an officer, but body cam footage shows otherwise.
This is Rodney Taylor, a disabled double amputee who’s been imprisoned by ICE for a year.
He was about to get new prosthetic legs when he was kidnapped… and they won’t let him have them.
His health is declining & there’s been almost no media coverage.
No protests. No noise.
