We are excited to deliver the content you have all been waiting for. We will not wait for Black History Month because our history represents 90% of the world's history and it is important that our children grow up feeling proud and represented in society.

As an educator in secondary school and Head of Year I am aware of the gaps in our curriculum and what our children crave for in their own black history.
Please spread the word across all platforms and let's make KidsBlackHistory everyone's history!
