I was in elementary school in the 70s, about a 40% black school, and I'd say we easily spent 3 or 4 more times studying Harriet Tubman than MLK.
And more time on Tubman than Washington, Lincoln, and Jefferson combined.
MLK has committed the crime of being a man...Tubman is even more PC because she was a black WOMAN.

My children(private school, 1-2% black)
spent more time, it seemed, on Harriet Tubman than any other American historical figure. The PC cirriculum is as much to blame as anything else. I never heard of Harriet Tubman until my children bacame so well versed about her.
