I was lucky enough to be a reader when I was a child, and I was exposed to a lot of elements of Black History that I learned on my own. I also went to predominately black schools from K-12.
HOWEVER, one thing I noticed is the lack of black educational programming for kids nowadays. When I was coming up, we had Vegetable Soupl, that show about Grandmama Violet, and a few other specials and programs on PBS, not to mention Roots and other family movies.
What is there for kids now? At least for free on TV? I dunno....
