One thought on “Florida’s Slavery Curriculum”

1. It looks pretty darn comprehensive to me. I imagine almost every American would learn something from that curriculum. I know I would. Sounds like a two semester course, not a module in a history or social studies class.

   I think some figures want to restrict the discussion to talking about the evils of slavery and Jim Crow without talking about how they were abolished. It is a many faceted story over the past several centuries, with heroes and villains of all stripes and colors. Obviously white Europeans and European-Americans exploited and brutalized Africans and African-Americans for centuries, and that is a terrible thing we must not forget or minimize. But this curriculum sounds like it admirably provides context and detail for how that came about and how it ended.
