As we approach Black History Month 2024, this year’s theme of “Reclaiming Narratives” marks a significant shift towards using authentic black voices to shine a brighter light on real stories, allegories and history, while correcting inaccurate narratives of black history and culture.
Using this approach in the classroom is a great way of giving children the opportunity to learn stories about true black heroes, their contributions to society, and their achievements in the UK and around the world.
So how can schools find their own stories of inspiration this Black History Month?
