You have pinpointed exactly the issue of presenting history accurately, or inaccurately, I should say. History is told with a slant.

It is history that has been excluded and is now being included. The statues can go to a museum without losing history, but the rounding out of the historical narrative is what has been missing throughout our Baby Boomer lifetime.
