exists in American, nor do I deny the racism, injustice and inequality of the present and of the past. What I'm postulating is that American leads the world in providing ethnic minorities with equal and fair opportunities in the workplace, health care, college and university admissions and housing. Even thought "Affirmative Action" was in violation of the 14th Amendment in the fact it discriminated against White folks. Although "Affirmative Action" has been implemented for decades giv-

In fact, the U.S. Department of Justice recently conducted a 2-year investigation into the admission practices at the Ivy League school of Yale University that was concluded in August 2020. It found that Yale "illegally discriminated" against White and Asian students.

"Affirmative Action" quotas set aside, the DOJ found that "race was the determinative factor in hundreds of admissions decisions each year," in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Similar admission practices were discovered

at other prestigious Colleges and Universities.

The DOJ notified the

"There is no such thing as a nice form of race discrimination," said Eric Dreiband, assistant attorney general for the department's Civil Rights Division. "Unlawfully dividing Americans into racial and ethnic

So please enlighten me "where is the White Supremacy?" "Where is the White Privilege?"

Yes, we have selective racism in American right in the halls of congress by the same people that are shouting their hypocrisy from the roof top.

At the 1936 Summer Olympics in Germany, American, Jesse Owens Won 3-Gold Medals

On August 8, 1936, Jesse Owens set an Olympic record in the long jump competition at the Summer Olympics to take home the gold medal. Owens proudly stood atop the medal podium with a military-style salute as German Luz Long gave a Nazi salute with his arm extended. It was a pivotal moment as Hitler's Nazi Party in Germany was fomenting the erroneous belief that the white Aryan was superior to other races. Owens also won gold metals in the 100 and 200 meter setting new world records.

Veterans Memorial "Wall of Faces"

The Vietnam Veterans Memorial is a national memorial in Washington, D.C., honoring service members of the U.S. armed forces who fought in the Vietnam War. The 2-acre site is dominated by a black granite wall engraved with the names of those service members who died as a result of their service in Vietnam and South East Asia during the war. The wall was completed in 1982, has since been supplemented with the statue The Three Soldiers and the Vietnam Women's Memorial. The wall originally listed 57,939 names when it was dedicated in 1982; however other names have since been added and as of May 2018 there were 58,320 names, including eight women. In 2003, after some years of lobbying, the National Park Service and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund won permission from Congress to build the Veterans Education Center at The Wall. The center was to provide biographical details and photographs of many of the 58,320 names listed on the Wall as well as the more than 6,600 service members killed since 2001 fighting the War on Terrorism. After 15-years of efforts to raise the funding for the memorial center and the collection of 58,242 photographs the project was abandoned. However, efforts remain to collect the remaining 78 photographs that are still missing. A website has been established that displays the current photos that have been collected.

Janna Hoehn became involved in the Viet Nam Memorial Education Center Project in 2014 in her adopted State of Hawaii with the collection of photographs of the Native Hawaiians that lost their lives or were Missing in Action during the Viet Nam War.

Janna currently lives in Hawaii and is a former resident of Hemet, CA. Because of her growing up in Hemet, California and attending school with many of the American Indians from the local Indian Reservations, Soboba, Santa Rosa, Cahuilla and Ramona she took on the challenge of collecting the photographs of the 232 American Indians and Alaskan Natives that were killed or MIA in Viet Nam.

She was successful in her quest of collecting the 232 photographs of the American Indians and Alskan Native kill or MIA in Viet Nam and South East Asia. Her dedication didn't stop with the collection of the photos. In way of example, Joseph "Joe" Pink was not listed as an American Indian and because she knew Joe in high school she gathered the evidence of his tribal affiliation to insure his name was listed.

Although Joe was an enrolled member of the Pala Band of Mission Indians in north San Diego County he grew up in San Jacinto, CA and attended school there.

And although Janna attend school in Hemet her extended family also lived in San Jacinto.
