It's not about keeping the terrible parts of the past hidden... it's not about keeping people down.... it is about taking steps forward to try and remove the dividing line between black and white, which I think is a step toward true equality.

You're right, there shouldn't be a distinction. So, until other cultures' history is included in general history textbooks, there will continue to be a separation, unfortunately.
