Make it mandatory that Black History is taught in all schools across the UK

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

Black History is not covered how it should be. We need a community where everyone is respected, understood and appreciated is by using education as a tool. If this is not done, police brutality and acts of racism will continue to affect the lives of those in our community.

Education covers so much and incorporates skills which we carry with us for a lifetime. Let's be the change that we need and unify. Let's make the teaching of Black History mandatory across the UK.
