You are never too old to learn something new. Again, the rest of the world has it wrong and my middle school has it right. After all, we are educators, right?
The rest of the world believes that Sammy Davis, Jr. was born in Harlem. At my middle school in a Black History Exhibit we saw him identified as Cuban. I bet you never knew. I doubt if he knew. We probably had someone do some research that says he was kidnaped as an infant from Havana and dumped in Harlem. Maybe we can find that on Wikipedia.
I know that February is supposed to be Black History Month but somehow we could not it together so we are celebrating on March 25. Welcome to modern edg-u-ma-ka-tion.
Remember, you heard it here first. Watch out Breitbart.

Yeah, and blacks designed and built the pyramids, too. I read that somewhere years ago in writings by someone "of color."
ReplyDeleteThere was a brief time when Egypt was conquered by Axum which was a black African Kingdom but the rest of the time that claim is just racist nonsense. They also claim that Cleopatra, of Greek extraction, was black.
