Make Black British History Compulsory in Schools

What the petition asks

Make Black British History Compulsory in Schools.

This petition is to call for British Black History to be made mandatory throughout schools in the UK. Many people today do not know that black communities have been in the UK from the beginning and as the growing population of people of colour and mixed children continues, it is a shock that it is not part of our education system.
