Make Black civil rights history compulsory learning in schools
I want the government to implement a deeper education into black history and civil rights history both worldwide and British.
With the situation the world is in currently people are ignorant and not understanding why things are the way they are. To rule out this ignorance we have to start with the education of people about slavery and civil rights history. In my whole 13 years of education I have had 3 lessons on slavery and I have to learn about it myself. To understand today I have know about yesterday and that is the only way tomorrow is going to be any different. Change needs to happen and this is a stepping stone
