How important is it to teach and know the negative information about some of the great people in history?

A Facebook friend of mine posted about the report his 9 year old is doing about Henry Ford. You’ll never learn in school that he published a periodical that was very antisemitic. Here’s some info if you didn’t know.

Do we need to tell the whole picture about people in history? Or, is it ok to just focus on their specific inventions and achievements?
