Remembering My Mother, the Woman Who Forged My Activist Heart
In memory of Diann Mendez Windmeyer Hall, who passed away from COVID-19. May 08 2021 11:43 AM EDT
This Mother’s Day, I must, for the first time, actively recall and remember the woman who was my Mom. She died from COVID-19 on December 22, 2020. But her passion, her love for me her gay son and all her selfless acts helping others stays with me. She has always shaped who I am, and she will continue to do so.
My mom’s last days were spent in a hospital in Topeka, Kan. She battled the disease for 30 days, alone. I remember the phone call and the deep helplessness that came over me when she first told me she was not feeling well. A complex mix of emotions persisted: fear, sadness, anger, and guilt. I could not help her and protect her, the way she had always done for me.

Kansas, Sumner County, the city of Mulvane, the Sac and Fox Nation of Missouri in Kansas and Nebraska, and the Iowa Tribe of Kansas and Nebraska had argued that a DOI official shouldn t have approved the acquisition of land in Park City for the Wyandotte tribe in May 2020, saying the tribe had already exercised.
