Not only did I never learn about it in school (including AP US history!!!), my parents didn’t even know about it. I went to a very good public high school and I went to a junior high that had a VERY strong social injustice slant (soooo much time spent on the slave trade…). To be honest, I was furious that we spent so much time learning about all the things everyone else did while we failed to mention what had happened at home. I’m glad some school is at least mentioning that it happened.
That just drives home how racist the US government is, regardless of political party?
