African American

However, John Lewis won me over on a CSPAN speech several years back. I was very impressed. Still, it says a lot about our education system in Ky. I'm really embarrassed to say that I had never heard of, or read, the Dred Scott vs Sandford Supreme Court decision of 1857 until a co-worker and descendent of American enslaved Africans, and good friend suggested it. He said, if you want to understand racism, read about Dred Scott. It's on Wikipedia and it's a very good read. How bad nay ... evil a decision that was. It was such a bad decision we are still living with it today.

It should be required reading in Jr High school and beyond. In our Jr Highschool, we learned all about NIXON and how he was one of America's great presidents. Hummmm. What a brainwashing we had back then.
