Black History/White Lies: 5 ways Black people built America
Instead of ripping down well familiar factual history, it would be helpful to build Black history into it. The same holds true of public art. Instead of turning Lee Circle into Podium Place, leave Lee, and build attractive memorials at every slave trading location in New Orleans with a plaques detailing the site and significance. New Orleans does a very poor job of that type thing.
E.g., There is a wonderful Louis Armstrong museum commemorating one of New Orleans' all-time greats .... but it's in NYC!
Fix that!
MLK said "we will overcome." Provide educational exhibits, artworks, and museums showing how Black predecessors actually did just that.
Critical Theory fiction is not the ticket. It's intellectual snake oil.
