What Does a Black History Curriculum Look Like?
Rana Mitter's panel includes Kimberly McIntosh from the Runnymede Trust, Lavinya Stennett from the Black Curriculum and New Generation Thinker Christienna Fryar.
Whose life stories are missing from the British history we write and teach? How do we widen the way we look at episodes which are on the syllabus ?
Rana Mitter's panel comprises Kimberly McIntosh Senior Policy Editor from the Runnymede Trust, Lavinya Stennett founder of the Black Curriculum & New Generation Thinker Christienna Fryar, who runs the Black British History MA at Goldsmiths, University of London. Plus Hester Grant has just published a history of the Sharp family. Granville Sharp was instrumental in securing a definitive legal ruling on the question of whether a slave could be compelled to leave Britain. How does a group biography retell this story?
The Good Sharps by Hester Grant is out now.
