I'd be satisfied if Congress passed a resolution or whatever stating as such. 


Not sure what that would accomplish, but fine, let's say they did that. What next?

And of course it should be in textbooks.


What exactly would you like these textbooks to say on top of teaching about slavery, Civil rights, etc, which they already do?

I assure you there are classes that teach about the struggles the black community has had to endure.

I'd like there to be a very close examination of the facts and outcomes of Jim Crow. I'd like redlining to be taught. Exclusion from Social Security. Massive and myriad white riots over honest black folk moving in to certain areas. Exclusion from the suburban dream. Exclusion from higher education. etc. etc. etc.
