I really never learned anything about it until last year as self-education. I am quite a few decades out of my public school education. Whitewashed history is harmful to students and the nation.

American history textbooks have never been about proof and documentation, it’s usually a tribute elevating American historical figures to the status of heroes, they unintentionally give students the impression that the figures they read about are superhumans, who live in the irretrievable past. In other words, the history-as-myth method teaches students that America's greatest days have already passed, muting of past clashes and tragedies makes history boring to students, especially groups excluded from the positive histories.

This is a topic that needs to be dissected and understood as it was the a push of hope toward justice and equality in this land of "equality". How reconstruction came about and how it was broken through domestic terrorism and then the lies that buried it.
