American Americans, Part II

See Part I here.

Tonight at dinner:

Me: Andrew, do you know who Thomas Jefferson was?
Andrew: No.
Me: Do you know who Rosa Parks was?
Andrew: Yes. She made it so black people don't have to ride in the back of the bus.

Arrgh.

Haha yeah... that sounds familiar. I didn't know much about "regular" American inventions or achievements growing up either... heck I still don't! But I sure do know about my black brothers and sisters! :)
