Explanation:

To determine the false reason, we analyze each option:

• Old racist ideas breaking down in the late 20th century is a valid reason as it led to more inclusive curricula.
• Decolonization of Africa in the 1950s - 60s increased interest in African history and its inclusion in curricula.
• Hugh Trevor - Roper held views that dismissed African history's significance (contrary to validating Hegel's ideas which also downplayed African history's importance), so this is a false reason.
• The African American Civil Rights movement (1954 - 1972) promoted the study of African history to understand heritage and fight racism.
