It was a different
time is the most typical
American excuse to explain how we treated each other in the past; as well as, the greatest argument for revamped
American educational paradigms. We can’t change what we don’t understand; and we can’t understand if we don’t learn.
During the idealistic late 1960’s and early 1970’s it was thought that teaching
people a more inclusive version of history would strengthen
America and help her to live up to her promise — it was a different
time.
