I had no idea about Black Wall Street or how many politicians were Black during Reconstruction, nor of the violence in so many cities to keep Black people out of power. This needs to be taught.
Tom Hathorn | Tacoma, WA
Imagine my anger and shame, decades after high school graduation, as I discovered the true history of the Reconstruction Era. What a wasted high school opportunity to learn what is possible when all people have a voice in government. Instead, I believed that Blacks failed in their opportunity, and just weren’t up to the job.

Our calendar driven rush to the twentieth century obs us of this important insight into who we are.

Presenting a falsified version of history to make our past seem better does a disservice to students. We need to teach reality in order to move toward a better future.
