Reviews

These lessons are informative and affordable, and could also prove useful for personal development Huntington School Teach Secondary Awards 2022

The materials engage in Black history in an authentic and powerful way. The videos provide a fantastic point of reference and engagement that will be a learning stimulus for learners and teachers alike. I would heartily recommend this resource for schools. - Dr Jason Arday, Associate Professor in Sociology, Durham University and Trustee of the Runnymede Trust

This set of resources traces and explores the Black presence in Britain from the ancient world to today. The quality and extent of source material is impressive and so useful for classwork. The supporting materials are thoughtful and well researched. The lessons are clear and ready to use. From conversations I have had with teachers across the country, people increasingly want to teach Black British history, and these resources are a great place to start.
- Hannah Cusworth, teacher and history education consultant
