In this podcast we get a perspective from a black elementary school teacher about the topic discussion about the history of slavery being taught to younger kids. I find it very interesting myself that  growing up and back in elementary school I personally did not learn much about slavery and the oppression and effects it had on black people. Towards my middle school years going closer to eighth grade I had more white teachers and I was at an all black elementary school where everyone looks like you. You come up hearing about the Dr. King and Malcom X and Fredrick Douglas but you never hear about George Washington Carver who discovered peanut butter and Lewis Latimer who invented the lightbulb. The technology and items we use on a daily basis most were invented and or founded by black people and we do not get the credit we deserve today. It goes to show how in most school systems government officials are trying to ban the teaching of African American history and slavery. In the podcast it mentions how schools talk about heroes and they do not talk about villains. Kate Shuster first interviewer as her role in leading the new framework of teaching the hard history to elementary school students.   The goal of the framework  was to create a diverse range of access points for teachers for K-5 specifically  and its difference in relation to trying to teach high school history. The idea behind this was to already look at lesson plans teachers had and not change it completely but to add and to expand on what they already was teaching and incorporate some minor changes for the perspective of K-5 so students at an early age can get an understanding and retain that crucial information that needs to be brought into the light.
