I dunno, not just them. I don’t remember hearing about the murders of the whole black neighborhood in Tulsa until just last year, so I’m pretty damn sure it wasn’t in our social studies curriculum in the sixties and seventies. Or, how many of the states tilted the benefits of the GI Bill away from blacks instead of making it available all veterans equally. We – all of us – weren’t told the whole story thru the years, to our collective detriment. And now here we are.
