It is important for all people and especially those of African origin to understand that black history did not begin and end with slavery, colonialism and civil rights which were not a good representation of human behaviour.

The national curriculum plays a key role in helping to shape the awareness of British youth. This being the case it should be inclusive of the diverse ethnic groups that form part of British & World history.

It is important for children to get a broad knowledge of history in it's full facts. It promotes self worth and understanding for others.

This is very necessary and very much important to include this in the national curriculum, as this will benefit the black children in our society immensely.
