I'm just speaking of my personal education. Harriett Tubman, Nat Turner, Nathan Brown, Frederick Douglas, and the first Black congressmen elected in reconstruction, have been prominently mentioned for as long as I've known. I just wish you'd pointed to actual school curriculums. I don't know where you'd go with the white savior complex, because did you not want White abolitionists to be credited or help the cause? You seem to want to publicise White people who didn't help the cause?
Agree. White communities in Appalachia and Black communities have problems and they're also both dangerous with crime violence. It helps most to try to provide better education and social services. Totally agree. In the interim, you can acknowledge the socio-economic equality, treat the people there with dignity, but watch your back in those areas, I believe.
