How white nationalist are misusing medieval imagery, written by Becky Little: https://www.history.com/news/how-hate-groups-are-hijacking-medieval-symbols-while-ignoring-the-facts-behind-them … 17/19
And a decent resource to look up hate symbols, misappropriated from the Middle Ages and otherwise: https://www.adl.org/hate-symbols?page=1 … 18/19
Finally, this doesn't mean we can't use these symbols or teach about them. Not every use is racist, but we need to be alert & know context. It's useful to know how these medieval symbols are misused in ways to promote hateful ideologies. Feel free to add more. 19/19
Side note: We've been alerted there's a small group of medievalists screenshotting everything I, @erik_kaars @adam_miya @dorothyk98 @kacaliendo @EileenAJoy @margiehousley et al say to criticize us as ppl & our antiracist work.
