"What is upsetting the country is a sense of its own identity. If one managed to change the curriculum in all the schools so that Negroes learned more about themselves and their real contributions to this culture, you would be liberating not only Negroes, you’d be liberating white people who know nothing about their own history. And the reason is that if you are compelled to lie about one aspect of anybody’s history, you must lie about it all." https://www.zinnedproject.org/materials/baldwin-talk-to-teachers via @ZingerLearns
