    They didn’t even mention Black Panthers… meanwhile, BP should get more credit than MLK and Malcolm X together.

    They weren’t “peaceful protestors”, so not even brought up.

    That was a long ago, has anyone here been taught differently? My school was shit (obviously)

      I was homeschooled for the first decade of my life. Specifically, I visited the city’s library and took back books to my rural homestead. Larry Gonick made a long running series of history books, and the United States entry certainly mentions the unsavory aspects of America.
