i agree, and i also think they should watch the documentaries on Emmitt Till and the 4 little girls who perished in the church bombing and teach their children these stories.
i first saw Emmitt Till picture when i was about 10. i NEVER forgot what he looked like and why it happened, which is why his mother had an open coffin at his funeral. Spike lee also has an absolutely heartbreaking documentary called Four Little Girls. i dont think i had a dry eye the entire time. it is true we live in different times, but the hatred is still there. we need to teach our children and be aware ourselves of how dispensible African Americans are to some people, including ourselves sometimes...
