Won't it be wonderful when black history and native American history and Jewish history and all of U.S. history is taught from one book. Just U.S. history.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I long for the time when all human history is taught as one history, because it really is.
Our goal is to see Big History become a normal part of high school curricula. I'd love to see it being taught in lots of languages. A global course.
Black history is American history.
We must never forget that Black History is American History. The achievements of African Americans have contributed to our nation's greatness.
American history has fallen more and more into the hands of academics.
History should belong to all of us, and it needs to include people from different cultural backgrounds. Otherwise, it risks becoming irrelevant to children, who could then become disenchanted with education.
Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe.
Who has fully realized that history is not contained in thick books but lives in our very blood?
The United States has written the white history of the United States. It now needs to write the black, Latino, Indian, Asian and Caribbean history of the United States.
I had this feeling that, somehow, we ought to be teaching not just the history of particular nations or particular regions, but the history of humanity.
