Embed Black History in the national history curriculum
Introduce Black British History to the national curriculum to educate students about the Black community's experiences, hardships and oppression, and how they've led to the modern Black experience in Britain.
The first step in changing Britain’s engrained racism is to educate children with a curriculum that is historically accurate, complete, and that acknowledges the oppression that Black people have faced in the UK. A history curriculum ignoring Black History creates children that are racially ignorant, a major factor that perpetuates racism in our society.
Some parts of the history will be uncomfortable to teach, but this is entirely necessary if we are to create a better future.
