We would want you to include Black History within the British Curriculum.

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

We would want you the government to include black history within the curriculums in schools. This should be mandatory and should include the history of Britain's Black Heroes and the history of oppression against black people. This would help create awareness of Britian’s history of Black People.

We would also want you to reach out to charities such as The Black Curriculum, that help teach young people about Black History.
