What the petition asks
I would like the Government or Parliament to review the issue at hand extensively.The historical black figures who came before us,we need to show each other that we will listen and learn about the racial atrocities that black people have suffered and are still suffering.
African American history as a subject should be compulsory,especially given the fact that there are many of us who are uneducated about the historical black figures who came before us and incited an introduction to tackle racial inequality and encouraged hope in many black communities that they are heard.However this is only possible with enlarged support from many different communities across all areas
