BHM always amazed me how much I wasn't taught and how much was brushed over in favour of white people, prime example of the top of my head being Mary Seacole.

@lynx we learnt no black history at school back in the 80s, my daughters did at secondary school albeit very prescriptive as part of their curriculum.
Conversely, my black friends went to pan African studies, they said is was very informative. Gave them a sense of pride and purpose, instead of a sense of place in the UK.
I am looking forward to the series of events we have planned at work next month.

We are gearing up for a bunch of initiatives to educate staff during BHM. However there is a growing concern around the lack of opportunities, restricted social mobility and further exclusion for black people in the UK during this pandemic.
It feels like the UK has gone in reverse, is this a reaction to BLM?
