When history is constantly being erased, this is very important. Our students are unaware of their roots and are already being disenfranchised. I also advocate for Queer and Women’s Studies as Governor Brown signed into law two years ago, to be taught in high school. Erasing history is more damaging than we imagine. Thank you for this effort.

We need this. We need to know about us not the Americanized version.
