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.
This is a non-political, non-partisan, non-violence platform. Some content published on this website may have limited political content by the very nature of a state governed country, and system of democracy.
We operate in a humanitarian capacity and concern first and foremost. We believe racism transcends politics and endeavour to avoid distractions that attempt to get in our way of dismantling the harm that racism causes.
We are not operating in any political capacity. We are not a member of or connected with any political party or staging a political campaign.

THE BLACK CURRICULUM
BLACK BRITISH HISTORY IN THE NATIONAL CURRICULUM
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.

NEW! Nov 2020 - 11th Report of Session 2019–21
In response to the awful killing of George Floyd in the US, Black Lives Matter protests
in the UK have highlighted once again the racism and inequality that exists here. Racial
inequalities in the protection of human rights raised by the Black Lives Matter movement
led this Committee to commission polling which found that over three quarters of Black
people in the UK do not believe their human rights are equally protected compared to
white people.

Thierry Henry exits social media platforms
Former Arsenal and France striker Thierry Henry removed himself from social media on 27/03/2021 because of racism and bullying across platforms.
Henry, 43, posted a message to his 2.3m followers on Twitter on Friday saying the problem was "too toxic to ignore".
He said he would not return to social media until companies "regulate their platforms with the same vigour and ferocity that they currently do when you infringe copyright".
