After emancipation, African Americans are moving to various places. They (Five Tribes) tried to fight back by trying to stop this immigration and for African Americans, the rhetoric was quite racist. It's is a lack of desire on the part of White Americans to remember that history. Instead, they whitewash it so that it seems like it's African Americans' fault. Acknowledging Black history is just as important as acknowledging Native American history, and often those narratives go hand in hand to tell a more complete story of our history in this country.
