In the Naples Daily News that Black churches are taking up the teaching of Black American History. Screw Deathsantis, they'll go around his foolish mandates.

I'm a huge fan!

Perhaps they'd consider incorporating historical "black" mythology into that curriculum. Myth has been on the shortlist of key concepts in anthropology from it's very start, emerging out of work with “oral literature” from preliterate societies where “sacred narratives” evolved from the world's many thousands of indigenous cultures.

It's unfortunate that so many are unaware of such “sacred narratives” impact upon societal evolution. obligatory... “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”

We're in the midst of a Spanish Inquisition Y'all Qaeda Nationalist Christian Fascist style because of that very thing. Ignorance is most definitely not bliss!
