Yeah in all levels of my education, I was taught that Lincoln was a good dude who freed the slaves; and always seen people put him on a pedestal because of it.
Didn't find out the full story until an adult (on social media out of all places). Which led me to do my own research
Education system is trash. I feel like I'm going to have to re-wire my future kids when the time comes.
I’ve already started with my 6 year old. She came home talking about Indians and Columbus last week, so I used it as an opportunity to set the record straight.
And we’ve talked about MLK Jr. and WHY he gave the IHAD speech, which never seems to get talked about in school.
Never too young to begin learning the truth, IMO.
