It’s sad to see that this is something we are currently battling. We shouldn’t have to have another civil rights movement in order to stop people from white washing history.

It's not another civil rights movement. It's the same one. It's been going since before the US was founded and has a long way to go.

Conservatives are obsessed with trying to pretend this is a new movement because it lets them claim the previous ones "finished" and the issues were all solved so now the stuff being asked for is new, different, and unreasonable. Because the alternative is acknowledging that they are the antagonists when it comes to civil liberties.
