Hey you! Yes you. Bored. Walk this walk.
Raining? Stay where you are and still do it.

There is lots of good Black British history being taught in schools now. And we hope we're part of enabling it to grow even more. Universities will have lots of students hungry for this now and more in the next few years.

Amazing stuff from @GodstimeDavid13 and @teadyjazz here! The Walk is great and the app is available anywhere to be used!

I discovered Sunderland Black History Walk on the Echoes app: https://t.co/ZTK77pl6H8

[Jim Scott @jimscottjourno]

Such an important story in Sunderland - and features two tales that haven’t been told for hundreds of years

Delighted to have spent the morning with Godstime, Endurance & @sunderlanduni learning all about our city’s black history

Here is the link to the walk

Great work by @alegnasmith and @lisajaneashes developing this and produced so well by the students of Sunderland University.

It's not often that the words 'Terry' and 'very thoughtfully done' are used in the same sentence!

Thanks so much and it was great to meet you and so many others doing such exciting work!

Knowing that you may want more than just a textbook - Know More sections take you to more in depth work that signposts you to a world of historians

I can deliver my the Story of the Windrush children's 'meet the author' collage session to libraries, museums and other venues all year round. Get in touch to book a workshop!

[Project North Star @ProjectNS46]

Students can see that #BlackHistory for many reasons can be hard to find in distorted archives.

Inspired by the trailblazing work of @TiyaMilesTAM , Marissa Fuentez and Saidya Hartman, we want students to see they can illuminate any history they want.

@AfroBritain365 @sunderlanduni @AfroBritain365 thanks so much! Grand work you're doing too!

Absolutely ##BlackHistoryisBritishHistory

Watch this space for new pages on Equiano. His visit to Newcastle and what he tells us about enslavement and the navy.

[Project North Star @ProjectNS46]

We'd hope its OK to tag a few people in here whose work (in)directly inspired us or who we think are awesome.

PNS is a week old. Thanks for all the positive feedback so far. 🙏🙏

We made this from the northeast but not just for the northeast.

We're sure there's lots here to help in your curriculum or spark thoughts
