I believe as many children should be taught in their mother tongue for as long as possible, and at least until they are proficient in a second language, but forcing students to learn what they donât want to do is the same as what sparked the Soweto riots in 1976.
The REAL âLone Rangerâ Was An African American Lawman Who Lived With Native American Indians. The real âLone Ranger,â it turns out, was an African American man named Bass Reeves, who the legend was based upon. Perhaps not surprisingly, many aspects of his life were written out of the story, including his ethnicity.
It appears that his first name is open for discussion: We know that the Ranger's last name is Reid, because his brother who was killed in the ambush by the Cavendish Gang was named Dan Reid. (This is also the name of the Lone Ranger's nephew, although we do not know what his true first name was. No first name was given to the Lone Ranger during the radio and television program. Somehow, though, the name John appeared in the liner notes of a Lone Ranger record.
