It is absolutely clear how the history of the development of our country did everything in its power to maintain the social construct of white people maintaining and achieving power. When these historical moments are taught, they are rarely given the through-line narrative that shows the connection of one event to another with the underlying goal of oppression. That is something that schools need to take on and include so that historical moments are not taught in isolation which keeps them from fully being learned as building blocks our our country's history.
