Include African American History in the high school curriculum

The Issue

African Americans have made great contributions to the development of this country. U.S. History should include their inventions, contributions to the war, and sacrifices for this country. It is unfair to make a student pay to learn the history of African Americans in college, when they are forced to learn European History in high school. Weren't we all here at the same time? Did African Americans not play other roles beyond slavery?
