Is it wrong to explain the dark side of black history?

The typical black history subjects I hear are always MLK, (sometimes) Malcolm X, (little information on) Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks..and that's about it.

A large portion of the information circulated during black history month revolves around the peaceful ending it had..

Is it wrong to explain to the youth..I'm speaking of ages 15-18 (high school) the truth behind it? The hangings, the murders, the torture the unfair treatment?

I'm talking about the burning alive for looking at a white person in the face, or the police arresting Black's under false charges and letting them out in the night after calling the KKK to get them upon their exit..the Black Panther's assassinations...the Black's in the army who were sent to the front lines with cheap weaponry as a distraction and bait for the white soldiers to use as cover...

Is it wrong to expose the dark side of the history? The real bloodshed, the thousands of found, and even more thousands of not-found black bodies in the ocean? Thoughts...
