For the black holocaust to be taught in schools, and museums dedicated to it.
For the education board, and for museums association to introduce the genocide of 15 million Conglese Africans by Leopold ll as part of the curriculum, in the same way that the Jewish Holocaust is, plus open black holocaust museums around the UK
Black communities are still suffering from the consequences of institutional and systemic racism, and calls for change are not being heard or met quick enough. The black holocaust has been completely ignored. Colonialism is still pushed as a positive, with the consequences of colonialism casing the death and misery of black people completely ignored.
