I was chatting with a Black friend of Jamaican heritage. She was appalled that a Nigerian she'd met knew next to nothing about slavery.
It's Black history! she said.
It's *your* history, I explained.
For Africans that sad story ended when the ships left the shore. Our schools teach us about the impact of that devastation, not what happened on the other coast.
Black history is not one thing. It's not MLK.
It's also Songhai and Benin. Which they don't teach here

Ashamed to say that I never knew who Fred Hampton was or understood his impact until I was an adult.
History that isn’t taught is history that didn’t happen. The FBI, in collusion with the Chicago Police Department, assassinated Fred Hampton on this day in 1969. We can only imagine what kind of world we would be experiencing had he lived:
