Note: I apologize if this is in the wrong room, if it is I will move it to another one.

In my class (I'm in college) we are beginning to get into the meat of it, we have just gotten over lynching. We were required to write about post cards (that were taken as valuable and traded back then) and have even watched videos regarding it. It's a very grim, very disturbing and uncomfortable thing to work through, and I'm saying this as an African American female. One of the questions we had to answer was: should this be taught in in schools that are both secondary, high school, and of higher education? Why or why not?

I would love to actually get others opinions on this topic, if possible, and opinions are open to anybody and everybody.
