I have very vague recollections of learning about this. From the east.

Related to 'what wasn't presented in school,' a high school classmate, now a retired teacher in Yorktown, VA, has written a history book, don't know the title, but includes history INCLUDING slavery, in her 'neighborhood.' Hope to visit her there, take an historic tour, and buy her book.
