Debunking the old story about Washington's dentures would be good. The catalog of lies I learned in school and in children's programming years ago is pretty big. Did you know Chubby Checker was white? Neither did I until that "Schoolhouse Rock" clip. All the whitewashing we were exposed to blows my mind.
Thank you, William. I teach 5th grade social studies, and my students appreciate that they get to learn the ‘real’ stories from American history in my class. I look forward to having this new tool in my toolbox.
I will ponder and reply soon. Native American regions pre- contact, Columbus’ effect on the Taino et al, ending with the Revolutionary War are my areas of focus.

Let me know of any topics you'd like me to write about!
