Americans: in what grade did you or your children learn about slavery, segregation, and the civil rights movement.

Asked by JLeslie (65425points) January 10th, 2012

This is a curiousity about how it might vary around the US. So these are the questions:

How old are you and when did you learn about slavery, segregation, and the civil rights movement?

How old are your kids and when did they learn about slavery, segregation, and the civil rights movement?

Were you surprised to learn these events occurred in our country?

Do you think it would have been better to teach it at a different grade level? Either for you or your children.

Did it make you feel differently about white or black people?

What color/race are you?

Where did you/your children live during your/their primary and secondary education? If you prefer not to give your state, please narrow to one of the following: northeast, south, midwest, southwest, west, pacific northwest, or pacific coast.
