I would much rather have kids learn all year long about people of all races and ethnicity in context of what they are studying.<br /><br />Quite honestly most of the black history I've learned has been from you and other bloggers. Hopefully schools do a better job teaching history now than they did way back when I was in school.Charley "Apple" Grabowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07193646109965731249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7422970545881076478.post-23975093754442985422011-02-01T20:34:09.825-05:002011-02-01T20:34:09.825-05:00Hello Professor Dru,
