Voices From the Past Do not forget me, or my brothers and sisters. We existed in the past and through you we will exist long into the future. Do not weep for me children for you were born to change our future. Hold your head high, and be proud on account of the colour of your skin and who you are – an individual who holds the history of many. Do not fight the person who calls you names, or use similar foulness to challenge them. Look, listen and learn from your parents and elders, for those that do will develop a powerful tool – your voice, a voice which will be added to the many (A.K. Titus-Glover, 2004). ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I was inspired to undertake writing this book on the history of Black people, past and present, by a few members of a community who at a meeting one day in April 2001, reached a unanimous decision that they did not wish to receive racism awareness training. Sadly, other members of communities including our own Black children, are being denied the right to being able to fully understand issues of identity, who they are, and why the history of Black people has been forgotten, and the many positive contributions that Black people have made in this country. I hope that this book, a positive image of Black people, will encourage everyone to make their own informed decisions. I personally wish to thank my wife, Jenny for her patience, encouragement and support. To the many sincere and unselfish Black people I have come into contact with, who gave of their time to discuss their own personal issues, which affect them and their children, often on a daily basis, many, many thanks . To Valena Jones, Principal at Parkside Community College, Barbara Mitchell, my Access course English tutor at Estover Community College, my tutors at the College of St Mark and St John, Plymouth and PhD Supervisors at the University of Plymouth, you have taught me so much and contributed so much to my learning. A very special ‘thank you to you all’. Finally, to my family, both in Ghana, West Africa and England, and in particular my children, Kerry,(who sadly died on 16 August 2003, at Derriford Hospital, Plymouth) Trevor, Sonia, Chelsea, Sonny and Charlie, whose love has kept me focussed. This book is also dedicated to you. ‘TO ALL STUDENTS – BLACK AND WHITE’ ‘…You will hear much about careers, security and prosperity. I will leave the discussion of such matters to your deans, your principals and your valedictorians. But I do have a graduation thought to pass along to you. Whatever career you may choose for yourself – doctor, lawyer, teacher – let me propose an avocation to be pursued along with it. Become a dedicated fighter for civil rights. Make it a central part of your life. It will make you a better doctor, a better lawyer, a better teacher. It will enrich your spirit as nothing else possibly can. It will give you that rare sense of nobility than can only spring from love and selflessly helping your fellow man. Make a career of humanity. Commit yourself to the noble struggle for equal rights. You will make a greater person of yourself, a greater nation of your country, and a finer world to live in’. (Dr Martin Luther King, Jr. 18 April 1959) CONTENTSCONTENTS Page no.

Much has been written over the years on race and racism. Jacobs, suggests that racism is a deep-rooted social and economical phenomenon in modern society, and that society must strive for change in combating discrimination, harassment and prejudice (Jacobs, 1988). It is against the background of heightened racism experienced by Black and minority ethnic communities that this educational Black history awareness book has been written. My first experience of racism took place where I was born in Notting Hill, West London, where race riots occurred in 1958. Racism can, and does leave mental scars on some Black individuals, and their families which may never heal. Growing up in an environment, where you might be treated differently, and where exclusion might be the norm for those with a visible skin colour is not easy. The provision of statutory services such as education and the criminal justice system are no exception. As this is where many young Black people and their parents may first encounter racism, discrimination and the negative stereotyping which impacts on their lives. I sincerely hope that this book highlights some of the inefficiencies of statutory and voluntary and community sector organisations in being able to understand how racism impacts on the lives of Black and minority ethnic people,and equally more important acknowledges the experiences of how Black and minority ethnic communities are further isolated in predominantly white areas. There are clearly problems within small urban conurbations, such as the City of Plymouth which unintentionally serves to discriminate against Black and minority ethnic people through colour- blind attitudes and behaviour which impacts on their quality of life, in communities and in the inability of key service providers engaging with such families, groups, and individuals. Awareness and education are said to be the key to combating racism as it may enable ALL individuals to gain a better understanding and knowledge of racism in contemporary British society. The enclosed parts of this book provide an overview of the history of Black people, immigration and, contrary to public opinion, acknowledges the fact that Black people have been present in Britain as early as the first century AD.

In addition, the following people have contributed to this report: Muslim Team African Caribbean Team Nargis Rashid Gilroy Brown Dilwar Hussain Cheryl Weathers In addition support and advice has been received from Robert Bunting, Karen Baxendale and Brian Wardle from BASS and Denise Williams from Nottingham. General thanks are due to the colleagues in all the LEAs who were kind enough to devote their time and energy to support the project. 2. Preamble 1. This report consists of two related but discrete parts. The first, Methodology, Main Findings and Future Directions, summarises the how, the what and the maybes of the project. The second, the Audit and the Materials’ outlines areas that lend themselves directly or potentially to reflecting the experience of the target groups, and offers lists of possible resources and practices that could support teachers. 2. Members of the project team, and others who were commissioned to undertake particular subject-based aspects, conducted what is probably the most extensive materials search ever undertaken with reference to the report focus groups. 3. The overarching conclusions arrived at are, at one and the same time, optimistic but depressing.
