Історію чорної раси у школах США часто викладають розпливчасто, з багатьма неточностями, залишаючи поза увагою контекст і яскраві історичні фігури. Спираючись на реальну історію Рози Паркс, професор Девід Ікард показує, що, коли ми пом'якшуємо та намагаємося зробити більш прийнятною расову дійсність, це шкодить всім нам. Також він наголошує на тому, яку могутність та важливість несе в собі історична правда.
