Was today years old when I learned that Herbert Hoover blamed Mexican-Americans for the Great Depression and deported up to 2 million of them, including plenty of US citizens

Hoover, "The Great Humanitarian". Strange man, a mix of ability, aloofness and callousness. When he toured Belgium after WW1 he was feted as their saviour. (His organisation was, in fact). He basically refused to participate in the ceremonies, he seemed to hate the emotions on display.

I never knew that either and I’m 72. This is another reason why CRA is so important!
