[quote=Anonymous]I really feel like our current history books are extremely inclusive. No need to balkanize different segments of society by pulling them out. Current history books aren't the "white, old, rich men's history books" of our grandparents era. FWIW I went to a 95% black school and every single book I read during English class was about blacks and written by a black author. The entire school stopped everything else to celebrate black history month. We were assigned black role models that we dressed up as and presented on (like Harriet Tubman and George Washington Carver). The school hallways were decorated permanently with only black role models and they mainly hired black teachers. It was pretty lonely for the non black students and I always felt the education lacked because we were missing other race's contributions to America. [/quote]
