Today, we remember a legend.
On this day in history, Harambe would have celebrated another birthday. An icon that became part of internet history, American culture, and an entire generation’s timeline.
Tomorrow marks 10 years since we lost him. Ten years since the moment the world stopped scrolling and collectively mourned something bigger than a meme.
He became a symbol of loyalty, strength, chaos, unity, and the strange beauty of the internet bringing millions of people together for one cause: never forgetting Harambe.
Everyone remembers where they were when they heard the news. And somehow, a decade later, his legacy still lives on.
Gone, but never forgotten.
Rest easy to a true patriot. 🕊️🇺🇸

Forever in our hearts.
SEVEN YEARS AGO TODAY: Harambe the gorilla shot dead when child falls into enclosure
Archives: It's a day many Cincinnatians will never forget. The 400-pound gorilla was killed by Cincinnati Zoo staff on May 28, 2016, after a 3-year-old child fell into the gorilla enclosure.
