I thought that it would be appropriate to discuss the relevance and importance of the “hot” topic in our country right now in respect to “teaching Black History in our schools”.  There has been so much push back, effort to discredit the historical significance of our contribution to this nation, myths of how it would make other children that are not Black Americans feel, and the treat of the contextual revelation that –“We as Black Americans have played an important part in all aspects of creating and sustaining what should be “the greatest country in the world that professes the principles of being a “Democracy”.  This in itself is perhaps one of the greatest feats that mankind can strive to establish, protect, and maintain.  It requires the input and contributions of all its citizenry.  It is not an “I” accomplishment, it is a “we” accomplishment.  Recently, I engaged in a conversation on social media about this topic.  I was disappointed at some of the comments that were being said, and at the same time encouraged by the enlightenment of others.  This is not a closed topic until we come to the realization that our history must be rewritten to highlight the contributions of all the ethnicities that have worked to make this country what it has the possibility of being. We are a nation that must be inclusive not exclusive!  

My engagement in the conversation:

I am Inspired to participate in this social media conversation and to get a feel for where we are as humanity in our evolution.! I profess that there would not be a need for African American History classes if throughout our educational curriculum American History was based on the truth of what was and what is, instead of the lies and omissions of the truth of life in America! Every ethnicity that has contributed to the fabric and content should have their story and contributions reflected in what children learn. If not with social media access and the power of the “pen”, the time has come that the truth will prevail! You see when you tell a child they cannot have something and you deny them access to something, that’s when they become curious and seek it out for themselves! These children we have now are “indigo children”! They come here to enlighten the world. Their brains are wired differently, and their souls are more advanced! They are disappointed that we as humanity have not evolved to the point where we are able to host them and create the world that they were expecting! We have failed them and for so many their frustration has turned to violence and self-destruction. We have wasted their gifts! They see this world for what it is and they see no future! What a mess we have given them. We have got to turn this around if humanity is to not only survive but evolve and thrive.

I like the new response to all of the rhetorical myths about the history of this nation! To be sure- Black history, the diverse Asian history, the Indigenous people of this country, diverse ethnicities of Spanish origin, people of European descent, OMHG! America is the history of all the people that have lived, worked, raised families, and died in this country. All of us have made an impact on the history of this country and to deny any of us from being represented in this country’s history is merely fraudulent myths that are no longer sustainable in a society that has awakened from the designed and implemented illusions of supremacy and control. We are awake and will never slip into a coma of deceit or invalid perceptions of what is in fact the “TRUTH”. Ashe! Ashe!
