This petition is to call for British Black History to be made mandatory throughout UK schools. We are taught basics of US black history e.g. MLK and Rosa Parks, yet nothing on the Slave Trade or other British history involving people of colour. It is essential to not brush over these key moments.

It is only fair that children be educated on the heritage of black and brown people and make it part of the curriculum. As well as teaching black history, it is important to teach about all races and culture. We are taught different religions in RE; we can be taught cultures in our history. By teaching our children at a young age, it will bring awareness to the oppression and discrimination that these communities face, resulting in a more a more understanding, knowledgeable and equal country.
