    You’re very correct, but that’s not the point I was trying to make.

    Also schools definitely cover Malcom X and the Black Panthers just as much as MLK Jr., or at least my public school did.

      That wasn’t my experience whatsoever and to me yours sounds uncommon. Not being combative with you, I promise, I just worry and wonder how successfully Malcolm X (et al.) has been whitewashed from history.

      Edit: redundancy

          I would argue Malcom X might be more demonized than white washed. They told me his violence was why he didn’t succeed.

      I wasn’t countering you, just adding my voice to your plea.

      That’s good that those were covered for you. I can tell you the coverage on that in my corner of the South is absolutely lacking.
