one of the best tweets I ever read was something to the effect of "slavery isn't Black history, it's white history"
@jentrification This made me reflect on how slavery is actually taught. In the UK, the focus is in the slave's conditions in forts, ships and plantations, including punishments. General statements on impact in Africa and specific examples of impact in Britain, plus the white men that lobbied for abolition, brief mention of black individuals. It is indeed taught from a white history perspective.
