That reminds me of the time I visited the Michelin museum in France that was about the history of rubber production. But there were literally ZERO mentions of the people who harvested the rubber, and all of the colonialism and slavery it involved. When I asked the docent if I missed a section they seemed genuinely surprised like it was the first time they had ever thought about where rubber comes from.
