Bring back black history in the national curriculum

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

Incorporate black history into the national curriculumto promote equality and diversity within education

My daughter is mixed race and has grown up in Cornwall which is predominantly white and has experienced a great deal of racism. I believe improving young people perception and education on black history will ultimately reduce ignorance and promote black lives matter.
