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.

BLACK LIVES MATTER
CAN YOU SEE ME?
By MELISSA OWEN
After a pretty horrendous few weeks Melissa chose to let her feelings out and wrote poems about her experiences, she wanted to share with us.
Many readers will have had similar experiences in their life, perhaps untold stories of racism, possibly not been able to release it outwardly, forever internalised emotions of events that transpired in your community.
We provide a platform that helps you to have a voice, to share with others who have known, felt and suffered and still suffering effects of racism and with those who have not and never ever will have to experience such an event not being black.
If you would like to contribute to this platform to tell a story, a poem, have something to say please contact us and let us know!
