An important series of anti-racist articles.
The Long Division series probes the origins and influence of the notion of biological race and asks: Why does a debunked theory endure — and can its dubious impacts ever be truly overcome? https://t.co/dc7VTxrxKj

[Fashioning the Self in Slavery and Freedom @FashioningSelf]

This portrait depicts a young Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, who was born in London in 1875 to a white British mother and a Krio father from Sierra Leone. At age seven, he sat for several painters at the Croydon Art Club. Here he is depicted wearing a cap and tunic, although it's worth noting that artistic liberties may have been taken. His sister noted, "They placed a basin on his head and a shawl around his shoulders to give him a more 'African' appearance." Her quote implies that Coleridge-Taylor was styled in a manner that emphasized his "exoticism," despite being born and raised in Britain. Nevertheless, Coleridge-Taylor would go on to become a pioneering composer and conductor of classical music, and a champion of African and African-American musical genres.

Dr Jayaram wants a public inquiry, which isn’t what the government promised yesterday. The non-statutory inquiry govt has promised wouldn’t necessarily hear evidence in public or compel people to give evidence.

"Attitudes towards immigration have improved, with only 9% of voters regarding reducing it as a top priority, and the country’s crises are too calamitous to shift the blame from the ruling party."

“7 days is simply untenable and puts 1000s of survivors of trafficking and refugees at increased risk of homelessness, destitution and exploitation as they face eviction with nowhere to go.”

[Lisa Doyle 🧡 @lisade17]

For many years I collected evidence to show the destitution and homelessness caused by refugees only having 28 days to find a home and income, and now they’ve reduced it to 7 days. An utterly appalling move that will cause immense harm to people. https://t.co/BwPt71frN4

There is a "need for change in policy as well as clinical practice to ensure that ALL BABIES, including those with DARKER SKIN TONES, receive adequate assessment, diagnosis, and treatment to prevent long term effects of jaundice".
Could YOU be part of this CHANGE?

[NHS Race & Health Observatory @NHS_RHO]

New Invitation to Tender – we’ve published a new commission to review existing evidence on screening for jaundice in Black, Asian and ethnic minority babies and to develop recommendations/actions for clinical practice. More info here:

The European Convention on Human Rights protects everyone in the UK

The rights and freedoms we're all familiar with come from it

Dragging the UK out of the ECHR will allow the Government to knowingly commit human rights abuses against anyone
