It is imperative that students understand the Reconstruction Era if they are going to understand the inequalities that exist today. Not teaching this era thoroughly would encourage students to draw inaccurate conclusions about the nation's history and specifically black Americans as a group. It would also deprive students of the powerful knowledge of the agency demonstrated by black Americans during this period. Failing to teach Reconstruction in a meaningful way is failing to teach a complete and honest American history.
Mary Zamacona | Saint Paul, MN
Many of our racist systems were developed during and after this time period including public education.
