Horseshit.
I learned about him in public school 40 years ago, and so have both my kids more recently. My 8th grade class visited Harper's Ferry.
edit: It would be accurate enough if you qualified it saying "some Americans dont learn about Brown." Trying to make it a sweeping generalization is horseshit, presumably aimed at being inflammatory.
Depends on where you are in the country.
There is anecdotal evidence both ways mr horseshit. I never learned about John Brown, nor have my kids.
