Dr. William Allen, a black professor who co-authored Florida’s educational curriculum, accused VP Kamala Harris of lying about the history of slavery. Allen said the curriculum “is devoted to telling the truth whereas Kamala Harris has retold a lie.”
Dr. William Allen, a member of the Florida African American History Standards Workgroup, told Fox News’s Jesse Watters on Monday the newly approved curriculum that teaches students about slavery and black history “is devoted to telling the truth whereas Kamala Harris has retold a lie.
Allen called Harris’s claims about this instruction an “absolute falsehood.” He also said her comments were “erasing [the] stories” of black Americans who worked hard to “seek opportunity” despite their enslavement. “The accomplishments of black people post-slavery were the accomplishments not just of black Americans but the accomplishments of American principles,” Allen said. “And that is the truth that people seek to deny by erasing the stories of people who lived through the histories.”During her visit to Florida last Friday, the vice president did not specifically name Gov. Ron DeSantis as responsible for the curriculum change, though she did deride the state's leaders as “extremists.
Allen also spoke to ABC News following Harris’s slavery comments over the weekend, according to Fox News; however, that interview never aired.
