Black history is such an integral part of American history. However, for decades, the contributions, struggles, and victories of Black individuals have been underrepresented and oversimplfied in the education system. Very often, Black history is reduced to converstions about slavery and the Civil Rights Movement, not mentioning the vast and influential roles Black Americans played in shaping the nation. Teaching Black history in schools is not just about filling the gaps in history but it is about encouraging cultural awareness, combating misinformation, and promoting a society that is more inclusive.
