"I point out this shameful bit of our town history often..."

People who are "anti-woke" often say stuff like "they're teaching kids to be ashamed of themselves for what their ancestors did", and I think they don't understand how healing and healthy it is to call out shameful parts of history. For me, acknowledging shameful parts of history is how I distance myself from those things, by subtextually saying "this is no longer the case, AND ALSO we intend to keep pushing forward".

That's exactly my angle. It was bad more recently than you think, and it still needs to get better because we all like our neighbors.
