Book excerpt: The truth is, if you don't know your history, you lose your civilization and your culture. If the primary history that African-American children are taught boils down to "we came from slaves," we not only lose the rich complexity that is African-American history, but we start children off with a "less than equal" subtlety that disengages them from wanting to learn their history or to be a part of system which stands for principals of justice and equality but yet lives according to a much different system, one of corruption and profits at all cost. This needs to change.
