"As an Afro-Caribbean I know a lot more about African-American history than African-Americans know about the history of Africans in the Caribbean and the rest of the Americas. I knew an African-American, college graduate who had never heard of Toussaint L'Overture."

This is true.

Many white people know more about Black American history that many black people know about it.

The only black people we learned about in school were MLK, Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglas, Crispus Attucks, Sojorner Truth, and a few others.

There was no mention L'Overture, Garvey, Selassie, Nkrumrah, Mandela, Ramses, Ankhenaton, etc.

No continental or caribbean Afrikan was ever discussed.

All the black history we learned was based from slavery.

They want to make us this that that is all our history is about...SLAVERY.
