Kerry Washington is a 43 year old American Actress. There has to be a way to broaden the teaching while acknowledging some things aren’t going to get covered.
There was some pretty in-depth information about slavery, but not very much about the civil rights movement, which is actually interesting since a lot of my schooling was in Newark, NJ, where some of the most important aspects of the civil rights movement took place in the 60’s. I went to school in NYC and northern NJ and we learned about slavery along with the civil war in late elementary school and during middle school.

I’ll be interested to see how it changes as he gets older.Same here, NJ, and it was too broad in scope, which makes it limiting.It’s a disgrace that black U.S. history is not properly taught and incorporated into the mandatory curriculum across the country. Kerry Washington appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live at Home to promote Little Fires Everywhere, on Hulu, and American Son, the play she took from stage to film that has come back into the spotlight since it deals with racial inequality at the hands of the police.American Son is currently on Netflix.
But that’s the entire point of it.

It has messed with our ability to come together as a nation to unite over things that need to change in various systems. It brought this part of my own life’s priorities to mind. Very very little Asian, African, Latin American history. Coptic Christians and Egyptian Christians–almost all of whom were/are black Christians–have been the ones for literally millennia to preserve the most foundational and fundamental pieces of our faith, and yet American Christians typically know nothing of that history.Christianity has been abused in the USA to exclude and subjugate and silence people of color–and particularly black people of color, and that is both shameful and painfully ironic. And it’s sad that black kids are denied knowing about this. You can follow any responses to this entry through the We close comments on older posts to fight comment spam. I remember listening to MLK’s “I Have a Dream” speech in elementary school.

But in school it was all, “yeah slavery was bad, but MLK came along and fixed racism! Kerry Marisa Washington (born January 31, 1977) is an American actress, producer, and director. Is this stuff really not taught in American schools?

Kerry Washington is pinpointing a different approach to teaching black history to children. My husband is from Michigan and he didn’t learn anything about Malcolm X at school or his Ivy League education. Students as well.

I remember meeting a (clearly very privileged) American while travelling and trying to explain where I was from in Canada but we couldn’t accomplish it because she didn’t know where Washington or Montana was… in her own country… Like what… 0% chance she knew then or now what the Middle Passage was.

When you consider that not everybody has the privilege of attending higher institutions of learning or having access to those kinds of materials, it’s easy to understand how they maintain such a limited scope and understanding of the world around them. And yet all that is taught – to black and white people is what happened from slavery onward.

And I think it’s really important that we start to introduce the idea of race with a black history that begins before teaching kids what black people were told they couldn’t do, right? Does anyone have any suggestions?I grew up in California and we learned not only about black history in depth, but we spent years learning about native Americans, their language and culture, what colonists did to them, and what reservations are like.My husband and friends who grew up in the Midwest?
