(POWERFUL) What I Wasn't Taught In School....Word On The Curb presents a Spoken word short film for those frustrated at Black History teaching in schools (6:55 mins VIDEO)

Word On The Curb presents a Spoken word short film for those frustrated at Black History teaching in schools.

Disillusioned student Samuel King relays his grievances to his teacher that Black History Month isn't taught with as much depth and with as much pride in schools. 

Samuel engages in a short rebuttal with his teacher, before arguing that education in school does little to satisfy his thirst for knowledge of influential people in Black history who seem to be elusive in the curriculum. 

Samuel names the likes of Patricia E. Bath, King Musa I of Mali, Mary Prince, Sir Trevor McDonald, Ella Baker, Septimius Severus, Fuse ODG, Jamal Edwards, Garrett Morgan and Kwame Nkrumah as individuals he could be taught about. "There seems to be a lot you haven't told us, and you shut down and hold back on the bold ones who stand against the way you're trying to mold us"
