 Thanks. I’d be grateful to learn whether the discussion will touch at all on those now-infamous fourth- and seventh-grade Virginia history texts that I remember from when I was a kid in the late 50s. 
(1619 was Virginia’s “red letter year,” my fourth-grade text declared. Women, the legislature, and captive Africans arrived, though much about it wasn’t presented as it would be now.)
