New on TikTok: Part 2 of 7: What happens when Black children don't know their history? The first consequence: you can't see the world for what it is. Without a historical map, a child's first encounter with racism feels personal and arbitrary instead of systemic. The gap between what they feel and what they can name becomes the starting point for everything that follows. How does not knowing Black history affect a child's understanding of racism?
