BLACK LIVES MATTER We stand together in solidarity across the globe to change the world, we kneel together for peace and unities asserting Black people are treated as humanely and fairly as White people. It is a human right to receive racial equality, social and criminal justice in the societies we live, and to receive parity as full citizens of the country and as a nation.

Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities report
Black Cultural Archives (BCA) refutes the approach and findings of the report on the basis of its poor use of data, unsubstantiated conclusions and British history inaccuracies.
REPORT 2021
Throughout centuries to present day, Black British history has been made, and unfolded in front of our very eyes in different spheres. Yet with no mandatory place on a highly Eurocentric national curriculum, Black British history continues to be viewed as insignificant. We have seen the effects of this omission, which pose a number of serious and dangerous political consequences.

Our core beliefs
- We work as a non-partisan, non-political platform, however believe in the principle of a democracy and is a practice that can work to effect the change society wants and needs, however we need to create an environment and society where black people feel included enough as a value part of society and that their right to vote actually counts
- Young people have great potential if given the opportunity to shape the present and that will define the future
- Change can only exists when all the theory, all the talk and commissioned reports translate into practical and physical action.
Our values
EQUALITY: We must have the courage to stand up and speak, have the humility to sit down and listen and to do what is right, and not to walk away in to the dark of the light.
RACIAL JUSTICE: Is when non-white people receive fair treatment, equitable opportunities and outcomes. Where systemic and systematic racism no longer exist based on the colour of the human skin.
BREAK SILENCE: We must all have the courage to stand up and speak out against racism, be able to sit down and listen and be strong when it’s not easy and uncomfortable. Do our best to understand what if may be like to stand in someone else’s shoes, believe their heartfelt truth, feel their pain as if it was yours to bear and carry, see through the eyes of the people in front of you telling their story, and know racism is real.
COLLABORATION: To be committed to work together, acknowledge what you already know – that black people are treated differently from white people and if you don’t know put in the work to educate yourself then recognise black people cannot do it alone it takes a whole society to change its unfair, unjust, discriminatory, systemic and systematic culture of racism and it starts and can end with you.
