Most historians regardless of ethnicity are waking up to the uncomfortable truth that we were lied to. Many of us were unaware of racial injustices of the past; most of which was omitted by design.
Problems?
The real problem is that many people cannot accept the truth.(2/2)

Correct. Truman tried to create a national healthcare system around the same time that European nations were making theirs. It was killed by Dixiecrats because it would have required integrated hospital facilities.
So you’re saying that healthcare in the USA isn’t allowed because it means Black ppl would be able to access it as well. And poor white ppl don’t mind not having healthcare to spite the Black community?

All national parks now have this sign. Sanitizing crimes and erasing memory is one more step towards a white supremacist version of history.

That “artificial line” is actually the 49th parallel, carefully negotiated through treaties like the Treaty of 1818 and the Oregon Treaty of 1846. History is a bit more complex than drawing lines with a ruler. #KnowHistory

60+ years ago, the white leaders of Newport News, VA, seized the core of a thriving Black community to build a college.
The campus location “was almost entirely a racial issue,” said one professor. “I believe they wanted to remove the Black community from here.”
