This is a reminder of that old quote — White privilege is when your history is the curriculum and every other history is an elective. Gov. DeSantis is reinforcing this white-centric view of history by banning AP African American History from Florida schools. This type of censorship diminishes the value of Black history and is an affront to our nation’s diversity and values. African American history should be taught in classrooms across our state and country to ensure that all of us understand the unique and invaluable contributions of African Americans. We must fight for the inclusion of these perspectives in our schools and curriculum.
