Hey there, welcome to our video on the erasure of black history in American education. We're glad you're here to join us for this important discussion.
It's no secret that black history has been largely ignored in our education system. While efforts have been made to include black history in curriculums, it's still not given the attention it deserves. Many textbooks only briefly touch on black history, often reducing it to a few paragraphs or even a single page. This erasure of black history in education perpetuates systemic racism by reinforcing the idea that black history isn't important.
