When we learn about Susan B. Anthony, we're learning about the feminist movement which is the same as students learning about the civil rights movement. Showing disdain for learning Martin Luther King Jr.'s I Have A Dream Speech is racist, because we don't see that same rhetoric when we learn about the 19th amendment passed into law, which ironically we teach race-neutrally, implying that all women got the right to vote when Black women were left out.
