I go to one of the top high schools in the country and in the past 3 years I've been there I have only talked about slavery for a total of 5 mins, and have never talked about the great contributions made by sons & daughters of slaves. This is barely mentioned in the history books I looked at. By this point most young black men have dropped out. I believe that if you don’t know you past your doomed to repeat it, and that there should be more mention of African Americans in history books.
I am also from the home of the Original Black Wall Street, and the riot that destroyed it. People act as though this didn't happen and that no ones family suffered from the cause of this. Why?
