New Poll Shows That People Think There’s a Lack of Teaching in African-American History
From NBC Connecticut:
A new Quinnipiac University poll shows that most people don’t feel they got a good Black history education in school.
The poll’s findings were released Thursday amid Black history month.
The poll shows that in general, American history falls short when taking into account the role of African-Americans. 66% of people surveyed agree with that statement.
