Deeper Understanding can bring positive change in our American society.
Amy Norman | San Francisco , CA
Learning and knowing history is critical to building a healthy society. Our society is not and has not been healthy as a collective. Teaching about our past, the good, and the wrongs done will propel us forward into a strong, communicative, independent society that can function on a global scale. Without teaching the truth from and in our history, we deny the ability of new generations to live in, design, and grow as we could have but chose not to. We deny our children the truth, and all children, especially teenagers, know hypocrisy when they see it, and they have been steeped in it for generations. Teaching in more depth the Reconstruction era, can and will show our children that we honor them by making amends through better teaching choices.

A neglected but vital part of our history and highlights the manner in which post Civil War politics over-rode the attempt to give freed slaves liberty and economic rights.

The country was moving in the right direction for full citizenship for the emancipated enslaves but Americans need to know the full story about the white compromise and the rise of racism to control black bodies. There is a need for all to know the negative impact that was left for all.

Reconstruction is a time when there was a chance and the hope of actually doing the right thing. Why wouldn’t we teach it so we can learn from it an actually try and make good on our promise of “liberty and Justin for all”?
Kylie Fisher | Covington, LA
Thankfully my current school teaches it, but many schools don't including my past schools. I've learned a lot and this topic builds a foundation for future ones that you can't fully understand without it.
