About this course
This one and a half hour webinar will show how schools can weave more Black British and African history in to their curriculum maps and plans beyond the usual Black History Month slot. It will show how more Black British and African history content can be included through
the choice of significant individuals studied
inclusion of the long black presence in Britain from the Romans to the present
teaching about the legacy of the Transatlantic Slave Trade
building in the service of Black British soldiers in two world wars and the arrival of the Windrush in 1948.
