We weren't really taught about it when I was in school in the 2000s. I didn't know the details until a few years ago when I got really into an Irish band, Bricknasty. One of their songs included a eulogy for Ross McDonnel, an Irish documentary filmmaker, and I fell down a rabbit hole.

We weren't taught about African politics because "they're always at war" (a racist oversimplification, of course) but I was surprised that they skipped over a predominantly white country's war....until I realized it's a story about an "underclass" uprising. Can't be teaching kids that the oppressed can organize.
