African American history too often is forgotten here

Editor,
I think Jude Prather should learn more about the true history in San Marcos. In his talk he said “acknowledging San Marcos as the oldest continually inhabited place in North America that was home to Indians, Spanish, Mexicans, Anglos and Texans.”
Did he not know that there were African Americans as part of this great group of people? (And they were not slaves.)
Why is the true African American history always buried? There are so many untold stories that should always be part of this beautiful history that God has given to all of us.
