There is nothing wrong that, people may have other
priority. Don’t get upset. There are many small
countries in the world I don’t even know where they
are located. Do you think I care? No. Is this a reason
to say I don’t know my geography? Nonsense. Since you
are with them and you may have some types of
interaction, your job is to inform them. I know how
passionate you are about Haiti, the second independent
country in the new world, first Black Country that had
broken the chain of slavery. It is fascinating for you
but others may not give a crap about it. For instance,
I like American football but others may consider it a
wild game.
You just need to educate those within your reach.
