Just a few weeks in 2020 have made for quite a bit of learning for Missy Elliott when it comes to Black history, and she now questions why some of those lessons weren’t covered during her days in school.
The lack of Black history being taught in U.S. schools has been a constant complaint among teachers and Black students through the years.
Elliott’s tweets sparked an online discussion with people who said they weren’t taught much about Black history in school either.
“I learned about Black Wall Street all because of DL Hugley breakfast club interview,” someone wrote in response to Elliott’s message.
“That’s why voting for people who will teach Black history on your school board is so important,” wrote someone else.
