    Huh, we learned about Malcom X, John Brown, militant abolitionists, and even militant women’s suffrage movements. We also learned about the strikes in the 1900s and the lengths the government went to in order to stop them. And this was in my rural conservative town.

    Actually, my history teacher had a big poster of Malcom X in the classroom now that I think about it. We also read Zinn’s “A People’s History” as required reading. Maybe I just went to the most based school?
