There is no doubt that Black history has become engrained in the nation’s
lexicon, probably making it one of the most popular subsets of U.S. history
taught in K-12 education.12 Several factors contribute to Black history’s
popularity. First, Black History Month in schools is now celebrated in many
different countries. Teachers sometimes see Black History Month as a liberating
time to offer different pedagogical approaches and disrupt an inequitable and
limited curriculum.13 Second, Black history museums have become increasingly
salient in providing educational opportunities for Black history learning. The
newly created National Museum of African American History and Culture is an
indication of the national importance of examining Black history. Even before
NMAAHC, many state and local Black history museums contributed to K-12 Black
history enrichment for students and teachers through activities such as Black
history summer camps, lecture series, historical reenactments, and storytelling.
A few other museums such as the Reginald Lewis Museum in Baltimore, Maryland,
and DuSable Museum in Chicago, Illinois, have even collaborated with their
respective state departments of education to create elementary and secondary
K-12 Black history curriculum. Black history professional development
opportunities for teachers are also common at Black history museums as well as
throughout various community-based organizations and education and history
departments on U.S. university campuses.

My son, who graduated from high school in 2019, says he didn't get much express
instruction in "black history," but he says that prominent black achievers —
politicians and social activists, scientists, inventors, military leaders —
*did* feature significantly in history and social studies curriculum. And in
public schools in predominantly black neighborhoods, you *know* that a great
emphasis is given to black achievers.

Bugster says black school children see "only" white role models. That is simply
a lie. Bugster, at least 83 years old, has *zero* familiarity with schools
curricula. He hasn't learned a new thing for more than 60 years. He's entirely
out of touch.

Racism is a crime, and crime is for black people.
