I thought that for a long time, especially when I
found out about it. Yeah, certain cities in the.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
South knew about it, but me as a little girl
when we moved from Chicago. I moved from Chicago to
Houston as a teenager, so living in Chicago, I didn't
know a bit. But when we moved here, as you know,
I was a tween, I was like twelve. Yeah, that's
when I started, uh you know, That's when I learned
about it.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
And that was about it.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
They taught us about black history when I moved down
in school, it wasn't an overload of information, but this.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
Wasn't really taught in school. It was tough.

Speaker 3 (01:45):

lived in Dallas for a while, I was grown and
I found out about It's like what June teen? What

to tell me. I was like what, Yeah, because growing
up in Chicago, we didn't know. We never we never

black history came.

Yeah, yeah, my daddy. And here we are twenty twenty five.

Speaker 3 (02:23):

daddy because the political leaders want to take it after.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
School completely era history.

Speaker 4 (02:32):
Like it didn't hat all together because they're uncomfortable. That
makes them uncomfortable.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
Because it's the truth. You're uncomfortable with the truth. You're
uncomfortable with your kids learning the truth. That's the problem.

teenth the national holiday.
