“One cannot discuss the African American freedom struggle or the civil rights movement without paying attention to white allies who were working alongside black people,” Lionel Kimble, vice president for programs at ASALH, told ABC News. “One of the biggest issues we see, especially for those non-black folks, is that the emphasis on black history is divisive and some mistakenly label it ‘racist.'”
“But, if we continue to emphasize that all Americans worked towards these common goals, then everyone can see themselves as part of the larger mission.”
“This isn’t a conversation that only black folks should be having. If we look at ourselves as a diverse nation, I think everyone should have these conversations about their history,” Kimble said. “We want people to see that their stories are valuable and that you don’t have to be this internationally renowned figure to do great things.”
