Although I am not from the U.S. I consider myself a great history fan and for a long time I read of it on a daily basis. With this in mind, I only learned of this event a few years ago. Makes sense, the whole thing was so abhorrent and indefensible that I see why virtually everyone involved decided it was best forgotten.
I only learned about this about 4-5 years ago, as well, and I'm from the U.S. (and a history buff, as well). Just shows what happens when history gets white washed.
