DonRocks Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 I'm not sure how many people are embarrassed to say this, but let me help you: * I had absolutely no knowledge about the Tulsa Race Massacre until a few weeks ago. * I had absolutely no knowledge about Juneteenth until a few days ago. Not only did I not know the terms - I had no knowledge of the events. And I mean none whatsoever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimRice Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 I had an all Tennessee education, including the University of Tennessee, and I didn't hear about either until a few years ago. I didn't even know emancipation day was April 16 until I moved here, and that was only because it delayed tax filing. If it doesn't get taught, we don't learn. For me, I'm embarrassed that I wasn't taught this, that this is the culture I came from. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
