Babies of Black mums are 81% more likely to die in neonatal care, an NHS study shows. The research showed ‘how existing biases and injustices in society are reflected in clinical settings, disproportionately affecting women and babies.’https://t.co/7ZP7HEKUVh

Professor Tommy Curry has said that the aftermath of the publication of the University of Edinburgh's Race Review has illustrated the importance of taking on the work in the first place 👇

[Jamaica Observer @JamaicaObserver]

British Labour MP Diane Abbott, the first Black woman elected to the UK Parliament and its longest-serving female MP, has urged the British Government to assist Jamaica following the devastation of Hurricane Melissa.

Abbott, who is of Jamaican heritage and a former Jamaica Observer columnist, raised the matter in Parliament, stressing the storm’s impact on families both in Jamaica and the UK.
Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper responded, confirming that humanitarian aid and consular teams are on standby and that Britain “stands ready to help and respond.”

But, following his debate with Alain de Botton (@TheSchoolOfLife) at the @HTLGIFestival, philosopher Tommy J. Curry (@DrTJC) argues that universal moral concepts like democracy, equality, and liberty conceal deep-rooted racial and political hierarchies.

💡 Arts Spotlight 💡

Will realism always dominate due to its ability to frame narratives and offer insight into our lives? Is the mobilisation of erotic power a vehicle or a threat to feminism? Is the future one where technology is not merely a source of innovation but the basis for a new account of what it is to be human?

On this day in 1972, Reporters exposed the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment — a secret study to examine the effects of untreated syphilis in Black men.

American medicine has been built upon the abuse of black people with no oversight.

Today we’re proud to share the UK’s largest ever report into Black women’s maternity experiences.

Over 1,100 Black women responded to our survey, and what they told us is deeply concerning.

This report tells a story of feeling ignored, dismissed, and mistreated.

It’s time to do better #FiveXMore #blackmereport
