It absolutely doesn't say they were black or of African decent but I feel that it was definitely implied especially seeing as how there aren't too many places in the world where oranges are grown and slavery took place (Both together). Just pieces of the puzzle. Like I said earlier on you have to take everyone's feelings into consideration. If you have something on a document or a worksheet that some people feel offended about but others do not, guess what? It shouldn't be there. The fact that it was there is the reason someone noticed it complained about it, it got on the news, and ended up here on IA in thw WL as a thread. You can't do something that's half and half especially with a sensitive subject like that. It could have very well been something mutual it definitely did not have to be slaves picking oranges I'm js. Thats my opinion

Oh and to answer your question about where it said they were even studying about slavery in America, here is a line from your OP -
"Roach said the questions attempted to incorporate what students had been discussing in social studies with their math"

^^Pretty sure that says it all right there
