I was really moved by the video, but was more moved (shocked) by my classmates that were unaware of the hardships and history of the time period. Movies and medias definitely taught me a lot of the detailed history .... but how could the schools not be accountable for some of that, too?
It is scary to me that even now, schools 'forget' to include that in the lesson plans of our junior and high schools... to be unaware of the history of the african-american history until you are well into college is scary. (and really says something about our cultural teachings and learning..)
