Ex-teacher calls for black British history book to reach all UK schools

13 October 2020

A retired head-teacher is calling for a copy of a black British history book to be sent to every secondary school in the country by Christmas.

Yvonne Davis from Hemel Hempstead, has raised almost £9,000 of her £215,000 target to send 100 Great Black Britons to all 8,205 schools in the UK.

The book, authored by Patrick Vernon and Dr Angelina Osborne, celebrates the achievements of 100 outstanding black British individuals from Jocelyn Barrow to Stormzy.

The only Black English notable figure I know is rapper Slick Rick who made the song Children's Story.
