WASHINGTON _ Black historians read passages from banned books last week in a local park in Florida.

The effort has seen historians share ways others can teach Black history, churches hold history classes during Bible Study, film festivals showcase Black history work, and Black leaders in Congress ask museums and local institutions to help in the campaign to preserve that history.
“There’s a movement across the country to suppress the teaching of Black history,’’ Marvin Dulaney, president of the Association for the Study of African American Life and History, said. “We have to meet that challenge head-on.”
The push to teach more Black history comes as dozens of states, including Florida, Texas and Oklahoma, have adopted or proposed measures that would restrict some teachings of Black history or limit language related to race, sexuality and gender issues in public schools. Some have also banned books, many by Black authors that focus on race.
“There’s urgency because these histories are under assault,’’ said Bobby Donaldson, an associate history professor at the University of South Carolina. “The battles in Florida and elsewhere remind us that it's urgent that we do this work now.’’

Leftist lie about history.
“1620” -Nikole Hannah-Jones is fake history that should be read with “1620”-Peter Wood.
There are no limits in the teaching of black history. That is a lie. They are trying to lump in the down low crowd with the black people. This is an insult to all black people.
Nothing like weaponizing history to stoke anti white hatred.

Seem if the Left showed more concern about blacks actually being able to read, it would make this supposed issue a bit more relevant.
