Leonardo da Vinči, najveći renesansni genije u oblasti umjetnosti i nauke, umro je 2. juna 1519. godine u 67. godini, u maloj rezidenciji u Kluu.

Leonardo je tako pobjegao iz Italije rastrzane suparništvom između gradova i spletkama na dvorovima, da bi našao mir u zemlji koja je bila na vrhuncu blagostanja. On je u Francuskoj boravio u srcu zemlje, u dolini Loare, koja je u tom razdoblju francuske istorije, bila kulturni, politički i ekonomski centar. Dugačka oko 1.000 kilometara, Loara je najduža francuska rijeka. U njenoj dolini nalazimo svjedočanstva o neolitskim naseljima nastalim još u trećem milenijumu p.n.e.

An opportunity for healing

How do non-native people in this country reconcile the Thanksgiving holiday versus the National Day of Mourning, both occurring on the fourth Thursday of November?

When I try to engage White people about this, they say Thanksgiving is a time to gather with family and be thankful for all the good things in their lives. And don’t want to talk about the many negative consequences for Indigenous peoples that resulted from the arrival of White people.

Thanksgiving is a glaring example of White supremacy and privilege. White people can and do refuse to acknowledge the true history. “Repeating the holiday with no acknowledgement of the intolerance in its history feels delusional at best, if not actively perpetuating oppression.”
