    going to check this out, thanks. I think it’s literally not even covered in US schools, I don’t remember ever learning about it.

      Wow they don’t cover it at all? Here in South Africa, we even learn about MLK Jr and Malcolm X, the Vietnam war and cold war in general in history. And of course we learn about our own country.

        I’ve been out of school for a long time so I could be remembering wrong, but I don’t remember ever learning about it. everything I do know is from what I’ve read/watched/heard and it’s all very cursory. I mean, we barely even learn about slavery in our own country, so I guess it makes sense.
