[quote=Anonymous]Non-aa here who grew up in urban modwest. My kids are in lower elementary at a title I school with a majority minority of Latinos in fairfax, and they learned about MLK. Hopefully they will learn about others as they progress through school. I grew up with tales at home regaling Booker T Washington, Rosa Parks, Washington Carver, and other AAs, as well as Chief Pontiac, Tecumsah, Sacagawea, etc. i think having a cultural understanding is important, but that a lot of it must start at home. This was made clear to me as I went through school and realized that European history in school really meant Western Europe ... and sometimes, Russia. The Europe of my ancestors was not covered, so I studied it on my own. Anyway, by starting at home I find my kids sharing with other kids, and those kids asking questions. OP, I hope you find a way to increase our awareness ofAA contributions in schools. i also hope you can be an ambassador outside of school too.[/quote]
