This is why I’m glad I went to Black schools back in the 80s in the early 90s. A lot of my teachers was attached to the civil rights movement, so I got the true history of the black story of America. In middle school, the teachers was telling us the real truth about Christopher Columbus and native Americans. Even back then those teachers was telling me that Columbus did not discover America because was already people here and that’s when my eyes became wide open at a young age. An America keep shooting their selves in a foot when it comes to teaching the correct history and I’m pretty sure they are going to white wash the Trump years in the future. If America would have did what Germany did with teaching the holocaust and learning from it, America will have been a better place. Racism can get extremely expensive in America is learning that the hard way.

To teach the truth to the young black youth

Well K-12 is determined by the local school boards and the states. So if you live in red state they’ll approve of textbooks gloss over or have a revisionist(lies) when it comes to African American History in this country. They will never truly acknowledge the damage and effects of slavery, segregation and all the bullshit that still goes on. My best advice to many parents is to teach their children the truth when it comes to our history. This is the most accurate and trustworthy textbook about us and written by us and should be required reading in every African American household rather than the Bible. Only $70.

I am curious to know what those statistics are today.
