Make black history a compulsory part of the national curriculum for all ages

As a first generation black Brit my education suffered due the lack of representation of my culture and history in the compulsory education system. Make teaching black history and black British history a part of the curriculum and help reduce racism in the UK through the critical learning stages.

I was stabbed in the face aged 5 in primary school because of the colour of my skin. Age 6 I was called a baboon and told I must have a red bum by other students whose ignorance was not corrected by the teachers. I want and need better for the future generations. I want to see black children in schools see representation of themselves in the curriculum and for them to take pride in the history and the strength of their people while also educating all other races on the struggles and obstacles.
