ST. LOUIS — A group of Black former Rockwood students is speaking out about the district's handling of issues of race in its classrooms.
They said if Black perspectives are cut from students' education, they want their names and achievements removed from school history.
Last week, Rockwood parents packed a meeting to mostly air concerns about how the district includes issues around race in its curriculum.
