Here is a better angle of this sign. I originally received this from a friend, but it came from the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
Anti-ICE protest sign saying: DEARLY BELOVED. WE ARE GATHERED HERE TODAY TO DISMANTLE THIS THING CALLED ICE with a picture of Prince in the lower left hand side of the sign.

Many Minnesotans died that the Union might live

www.firstminnesota.net
From a history of the 1st Minnesota Volunteer Infantry Regiment: “The regiment is best known for the dramatic charge at the battle of Gettysburg. On the evening of July 2, 1863 the regiment attacked Wilcox's Alabama Brigade as it was preparing for the final push to break the Union line. Confederate General Wilcox stated in his report, "This stronghold of the enemy, together with his batteries, were almost won, when still another line of infantry descended the slope in our front at a double-quick, to the support of their fleeing comrades and for the defense of the batteries." The line of infantry was the First Minnesota. They crossed over 200 yards of open ground and charged the Confederates in spite of five to one odds. The rebels recovered and in five minutes killed or wounded over 170 of the 300 plus men. The survivors did not panic but fell back to their orginal position and rallied around the remnant of the flag waiting for a counterattack that did not come.”

Nuremberg II
GENERAL Article 9 of the Charter provides: " At the trial of any individual member of any group or organisation the Tribunal may declare (in connection with any act of which the individual may be convicted) that the group or organisation of which the individual was a member was a criminal organisation. The effect of the declaration of criminality by the Tribunal is well illustrated by Law Number 10 of the Control Council of Germany passed on the 20th day of December, 1945, which provides: " Each of the following acts is recognised as a crime: " (d) Membership in categories of a criminal group or organisation declared criminal by the International Military Tribunal.

Explicitly in “Letter from Birmingham Jail”:

We have waited more than three hundred and forty years for our God-given and constitutional rights. The nations of Asia and Africa are moving with jetlike speed toward the goal of political independence, and we still creep at horse-and-buggy pace toward the gaining of a cup of coffee at a lunch counter. Oppressed people cannot remain repressed forever. The urge for freedom will eventually come. This is what has happened to the American Negro. Something within has reminded him of his birthright of freedom; something without has reminded him that he can gain it. Consciously and unconsciously, he has been swept in by what the Germans call the Zeitgeist, and with his black brothers of Africa and his brown and yellow brothers of Asia, South America, and the Caribbean, he is moving with a sense of cosmic urgency toward the promised land of racial justice.
