Ralph Northam, whose yearbook page from medical school features someone in blackface standing alongside another person dressed in a Ku Klux Klan robe. Northam has denied being either person. The more Northam has tried to defend his past actions, the clearer it has become to me how little he appears to know about fundamental aspects of American history, such as slavery. For instance, Northam referred to Virginia\u2019s earliest slaves as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/state-watch\/429335-gayle-king-corrects-northam-for-referring-to-slaves-as-indentured\">\u201cindentured servants\u201d<\/a>.

For example, a recent\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.splcenter.org\/20180131\/teaching-hard-history\">study<\/a>\u00a0found that only 8 percent of high school seniors knew that slavery was the central cause of the Civil War. There are ample opportunities to include much more about white supremacy, racial discrimination and racial violence into school curricula. Here are three things that I believe should be incorporated into all social studies curricula today:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1.

Notably,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tolerance.org\/magazine\/teaching-americas-national-crime\">many whites<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 not just white supremacist groups like the Klu Klux Klan \u2013 engaged in this violence.

These negative stereotypes included that blacks were ignorant, lazy, cowardly, criminal and hypersexual.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nmaahc.si.edu\/blog-post\/blackface-birth-american-stereotype\">Blackface minstrelsy<\/a>\u00a0refers to whites darkening their skin and dressing in tattered clothing to perform the negative stereotypes as part of entertainment. This imagery and entertainment served to solidify negative stereotypes about blacks in society. Many of these negative stereotypes persist today.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Racial inequality was preserved through housing discrimination and segregation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>During the early 1900s, a number of policies were put into place in our country\u2019s most important institutions to further segregate and oppress blacks. For example, in the 1930s, the federal government, banks and the real estate industry\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2017\/05\/03\/526655831\/a-forgotten-history-of-how-the-u-s-government-segregated-america\">worked together<\/a>\u00a0to prevent blacks from becoming homeowners and to create racially segregated neighborhoods.<\/p>\n<p>This process, known as redlining, served to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.smithsonianmag.com\/history\/how-federal-government-intentionally-racially-segregated-american-cities-180963494\/\">concentrate<\/a>\u00a0whites in middle-class suburbs and blacks in impoverished urban centers. Racial segregation in housing has consequences for everything from\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.brookings.edu\/articles\/unequal-opportunity-race-and-education\/\">education<\/a>to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/inequality.stanford.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/media\/_media\/pdf\/Reference%20Media\/Kain_1992_Transportation.pdf\">employment<\/a>. Moreover, because public school funding relies so heavily on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2016\/04\/18\/474256366\/why-americas-schools-have-a-money-problem\">local taxes<\/a>, housing segregation affects the quality of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.edweek.org\/ew\/articles\/2014\/03\/26\/26rothstein_ep.h33.html\">schools<\/a>students attend.<\/p>\n<p>All of this means that even after the removal of discriminatory housing policies and school segregation laws in the 1950s and 1960s, the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/education\/archive\/2018\/03\/school-segregation-is-not-a-myth\/555614\/\">consequences<\/a>\u00a0of this intentional segregation in housing persist in the form of highly segregated and unequal schools. All students should learn this history to ensure that they do not wrongly conclude that current racial disparities are based on individual shortcomings \u2013 or worse, black inferiority \u2013 as opposed to systematic oppression.<\/p>\n<p>Americans live in a starkly unequal society where\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kff.org\/disparities-policy\/report\/key-facts-on-health-and-health-care-by-race-and-ethnicity\/\">health<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/opportunityinsights.org\/race\/\">economic<\/a>outcomes are largely influenced by race. We cannot begin to meaningfully address this inequality as a society if we do not properly understand its origins. The\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/time.com\/5013943\/john-kelly-civil-war-textbooks\/\">white supremacists<\/a>\u00a0responsible for sanitizing our history lessons understood this. Their intent was clearly to keep the country ignorant of its racist past in order to stymie racial equality. To change the tide, we must incorporate a more accurate depiction of our country\u2019s racist history in our K-12 curricula.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Author Bio:<\/strong> Noelle Hurd is the Scully Family Discovery Associate Professor in Psychology at the University of Virginia<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to how deeply embedded racism is in American society, blacks and whites have sharply different views.
