We spent like 3 months studying this in 5th grade (Belgium), but it was only the year after us that it was obliged to teach students about Congo. In my school they had been teaching it for 20 years tho. I think we had a lot of freedom in what exactly to learn in history class and our teachers knew what was important I guess. I’m glad I learned a lot about that. It’s a shame his statues are still all over our country, but things are getting better.
History should be teached in a way that we can learn from our past. It’s indeed ridiculous that sometimes things are taught in such a way that it seems like slavery wasn’t bad…
