I didn't mean to dismiss your comment, or degrade your daughter's moment.
I was just stating that it may have been more plausible that she mention Walker if he had a vintage card (not just modern tribute cards) and how impressed a teach would be to learn something from a 7 year old.
My follow up comment about the teacher not even knowing is that teacher's only know what is taught to them. I had grown up believing that no African Americans had played in the MLB prior to Jackie Robinson because that is what is taught in the school system.
Again nothing against your daughter or her moment as school. I apologize if it came off as my correcting her. Just random thoughts typed out between doing actual work.
