I do believe that our history is critical for us to be exposed to and understand. We can see how it continues to repeat itself everyday. I am so glad you included the history around different identities. This history needs to be included in our HS and college curriculums. The history of trauma that we as a country have put on people is disheartening. I do hope that we can take this moment in time and create real change. I do not want to be here again in a year...enough is enough!
I completely agree. Even when this history is taught is often either as an aside or super niche to the point where it loses the bigger picture. Like I know kids here in Maine sometimes learn about Native American issues that pertain to the tribes here but I doubt they are learning about any of the issues that impact other communities.
