This week, a 16-year-old boy named Ralph Yarl—black—accidentally rang the doorbell of an 84-year-old white man, Andrew Lester. According to reports, Lester then shot Yarl twice through the door, wounding him in the head and the arm.

A generation of Americans is being raised on half-truths and lies about the history of slavery in America.
