Cite, please?

The last time I saw the word "negro" in a textbook, I was in the 6th grade, and had to say the word "black" every time I encountered it.

If your kids are going to school using textbooks printed before 1973, you're in the wrong school district.
It was in a textbook no longer used in Mississippi. My (now ex-)husband read me the passage over the phone, so I can't cite. Luckily my daughter is no longer in Mississippi.
