While this is true, African American history is American history but has parts that are heavily overlooked or ignored by standard curriculum. So we're not even getting full American history, especially bits that provide valuable context on a demographic that is overlooked and was actively involved in almost all of the mainstream American history. How is it advantageous not to be taught all of your counties history unless it is to allow for overlooking or continuing on prejudiced ideals?
