Founded by Lavinya Stennet, the Black Curriculum is an organisation
dedicated to promoting the learning of Black British history within
schools, via workshops and free teaching resources. Black British
history is currently not taught consistently in British schools,
despite being recommended by reports such as the Windrush review
and the MacPherson Report as a way of tackling racism. This series
provides a resource to fill the gap and aims to support the work
that the Black Curriculum is doing. The books will act as a
resource in the classroom, as well as promoting independent
learning. The bold illustrations from Black British illustrators,
and age-appropriate text present the information in a fun and
accessible way. At DK, we believe in the power of discovery. So why
stop there? The Black Curriculum - Legacies is a three-part series
for children aged 8+ who want to learn more about Black British
History, alongside teachers seeking to inspire children to learn
more about the subject. Explore important sites in Black British
History with The Black Curriculum - Places, and discover an
inspiring collection of migration stories from Black British
History with The Black Curriculum - Migrations.
