INCLUDE BLACK HISTORY IN OUR SCHOOLS BY COMBINING IT WITH US HISTORY. THERE WERE BLACK PEOPLE HERE WHEN COLUMBUS CAME TO THIS COUNTRY...
Why is this important?
I WAS BORN IN 1934. HISTORY WAS UNKIND TO ME AT THAT TIME AND IT STILL IS. THE SCHOOLS I ATTENDED WERE TAUGHT BY TEACHERS WHO HAD VERY LITTLE EDUCATION . THEIR CRITERA WAS THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN. THE HISTORY BOOKS WE UTILIZED WERE USED BY THE WHITE SCHOOLS FIRST AND HAD PAGES PURPOSELY TORN OUT. THE ONE MONTH A YEAR OF BLACK HISTORY IS NOT ENOUGH. THERE WERE BLACK PEOPLE HERE BEFORE COLUMBUS CAME..WE NEED THIS ISSUE FIXED TO SAVE THE EDUCATION SYSTEM.AND OUR CHILDREN FROM HAVING INFERIOR FEELING.
