Trending rights tweets this week: Myanmar doctors show their defiance of the military coup by showing the Hunger Games salute made popular by protesters in Thailand; Indian authorities should be protecting press freedom and releasing activists jailed for politically motivated purposes during the #FarmersProtest; a Moscow court sentenced Russian dissident Alexey Navalny to 2.8 years in jail in a monstrously unjust ruling; and as the United States celebrates black history month, here is rare 1920s footage of Greenwood, an African-American enclave in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Greenwood’s abundance of Black-owned businesses and its prosperity earned it the nickname “Black Wall Street.” But 99 years ago, angry white mobs burned it to the ground.
