A BIG THANKS

to everyone who visisted blackhistory4schools during Black History Month, i hope you found what you were looking for (if you didn't then please take a minute to fill in the questionnaire that popped up when you logged on to help me improve the website). I was delighted to register over 100,000 hits and more than unique users in October. The website will continue to spread the message about mainstreaming Black and Asian British History into the curriculum.
A big thanks too to everyone who came to the Museum in Docklands for the launch of their fantastic London, Sugar and Slavery permanent exhibition on Sat November 10th. There were hundreds of people there for the opening day events and the debate about teaching the slave trade raised some interesting issues around cultural awareness and the question of reparations. If you ever have a spare hour the Museum is really worth checking out as they have put a lot of thought into the exhibition which is handled very sensitively and imaginatively.
