It is because slavery, racism, and the African culture are rarely discussed in the classroom. It is unfortunate that all cultures do not experience the African culture. The United States is a collaboration of different individuals and all varieties of cultures. It is unfortunate that the United States celebrates blacks and their fight for equality only in the month of February. It is rare form of information that students portray embarrassment.
Teachers have the difficult task in explaining the issue to children.
It is very important for teachers to establish that the majority of racism is part of the past, and it is the children s generation that should extinguish it completely. Students should be taught that people are all different individuals, and the color of our skin is simply one of those differences. We should encourage students to feel like they can change and heal the past. By discussing racism, students will be introduced to slavery. An effective method in introduction is to use a poem or a picture book.
