White washed history

At this point in the first module, I am struck by how totally white washed our history education is in this country. The videos were educational and impactful. The history we are taught in school is missing most if not all of this content. The history taught in school seems to come totally from the point of view of American Exceptionalism which many people in this country take as absolute truth. It is this belief in our exceptionalism that is a barrier to progress.
