@jentrification It is America's history, and its most important history, at that: both economically and morally. And it persists unchecked (and getting worse after some brief period of slight progress) to this very day. Further, America's power makes it the Earth's most pressing problem, for if we can't stand up to it here, how can we stand up to the other {racial / religious / gender / sexual preference} oppressors of the world. Peace be with you, dear sister.
