Through my primary and secondary education, I don't ever recall going in depth about slavery and the struggle for racial equality, and the violence that occurred during the Reconstruction. Blacks were killed just because they were black and had the right to vote... all i remember is talking in depth of how bad the Holocaust and World War 2 was and how America was the hero in the end. We watched all these movies and read countless books about the Holocaust, WW1, WW2, Founding Fathers but why isn't American slavery a huge part of the curriculum? The Holocaust happened halfway across the world..... American slavery happened right here on the soil below our feet. Slavery is a huge part of American history and i think the reason why it hasn't been addressed in depth in the class is simply because America wants to look like a hero in everything and doesn't want to admit its faults.
