Slavery is not only a huge part of African American history but also American history so much so that as, previously mentioned, it is taught throughout school systems as a part of history. Slavery was a horrible time in history where whites kidnapped, rapped, and overworked blacks for no pay. In addition to that not being taught in a lot of school systems today, when slavery ended, freedom was not given to black people. It would be several hundred of years until blacks received the natural right to do things such as go to certain facilities (i.e. Schools, restaurants, bathrooms, exc.), vote, marry who they like, exc. School systems are also known to suspend black students 4 as much as white students and diagnose black students with more mental disorders than that of whites. This creates a more difficult environment for a child to flourish in. To create a more beneficial environment for African American students one should first dedicate a larger portion to correct history. This would not only include a better understanding of slavery but also Africans before history and the corrections in inventions and black inventors who created them.
