History is ALWAYS relevant. I guess I'm shocked to hear that students aren't learning about our history in classes but then again I refuse to allow someone else to be the sole educator of my child.
My mother is a professor so I was constantly surrounded by intellectuals and had access to books/videos/lectures on the subject. My greatest frustration is that we didn't learn about the life of our ancestors prior to their arrival on these shores in schoo. We learn about the English, Irish, Jews, etc and their conditions but rarely do we hear about life in West Africa, etc.
