This is what saddens me the most. That because it isn’t taught in schools, we don’t learn it.
How, then, can we empower our people to learn autonomously? Do we honestly expect the school system to teach kids things that some of us haven’t learned?
If you have a younger sibling, cousin, niece or nephew, daughter or son, grandchild, passing down your knowledge (along with some great book recommendations) is one way to do that. Movies are helpful, documentaries are better. But the lack of cultural knowledge & time + overly high expectations for the U.S. school system= a recipe for disaster.
Even the best teachers have to stick to a curriculum that was not designed for people of color.
^^^^^ I cannot co-sign this enough!
