Black environmentalists... where you at?
Why so few black people have jobs working with the environment.
With a big environment summit happening in Egypt, De-Graft finds out why there are so few people from ethnic minorities working in the environment sector in the UK. He hears about a scheme set up to change this.
We鈥檝e also got an update on the Metropolitan Police鈥檚 database of people it believes could be gang members 鈥� it鈥檚 called the Gangs Violence Matrix and is being overhauled. We hear from lawyer Lana Adamou again who took the police to court, arguing the system was discriminatory.
And black history doesn鈥檛 have to be limited to October, so author and academic Gretchen Gerzina drops in and teaches De-Graft about the first black Brits. Spoiler鈥� they were here before the Windrush. Kayne Kawaski, a black history educator (who you might have seen on your timelines) also joins the conversation.
