It is with great pleasure to deliver a copy of 100Great Black Britons and associated poster to celebrate the contributions of Black Britons.The tool is to inform and to educate all pupils and adults through the life stories of our forefathers and contemporary figures.I believe this will inspire all children to achieve and to be resilient and determined when faced with challenges.It is hoped the historical journey will open conversations about equality and achievement.
The campaign will continue until the objective has been reached for all secondary schools in the UK to receive a copy and poster.
