Stephen has written to the Education Secretary, Gavin Williamson, asking if Ministers are looking at including Black history in the National Curriculum.
In recent weeks, Stephen has been contacted by a number of his constituents who have raised concerns about events of the last few weeks which have disproportionately affected Black people in the UK. They are troubled that the national curriculum excludes Black histories and omits the contributions Black people have made to the UK.
There have been numerous calls over the years to reform the national curriculum to incorporate Black histories, but that these requests have been denied.
