Re-writing history is a fool's errand or a woke's dream.
The LAW in the United States, was "separate but equal". It wasn't an "opinion". It wasn't individual choice. It wasn't "unfair" by the standards of the times. It was barely in dispute by either side of the fence.
It was simply the law of the land.
Attempting to re-write history, serves only to assuage those who feel guilty about their collective history and does nothing productive.
