In recent years we have seen a consistent well-funded, politically supported movement by the right-wing to enforce gaslighting as a way of educating today’s students. In this movement, anything that negatively shows whites must be censored. CWST teaches us about Nat Turner, Denmark Vecsey, and John Brown. Schools taught about the victories of white slavers and those who supported slavery against anyone rising against it. Many Blacks endured going from kindergarten through twelfth grade, learning that blacks were just too weak to fight, and those who couldn’t run away just accepted being enslaved. We were taught how runaway slaves were caught and sent back or killed. The common refrain is repeated about how 600,000 whites fought and died to free us from slavery.
History shows us something else.
