Petition Action

Make Black History mandatorily taught in schools.

Petition Details

To make black history a full topic in the history subject of secondary schools to help educate the nation. Thus helping to reduce racism.

Additional Information

Racism comes from the absence of Education regarding minorities. In Secondary School there are 55 units in History, only 3 of these involve minorities of black history. This is not enough.
We need to educate everyone in this country on black history. Adding an entire topic for black history in Secondary School would be a great start.
