I had to go on a tour of the Massachusetts Historical Society yesterday. All I saw was pictures of dead ass white men and women on the wall circa the colonial years. I wish it was just as many dead ass black men and women on the wall but my history wasn't important enough to preserve. I can only imagine how different African-American history would be if more of our history had been deemed worthy enough to save just as meticulously as our white counterparts. One can only imagine.
