In our blog for @RunnymedeTrust we explain why banning the use of Black British English (BBE) in UK schools reinforces negative perceptions and stereotypes which are harmful to Black students.

When conversations about Britain’s future happen, Black Britain shouldn’t be an afterthought.

We are not a footnote in British history.

We are part of its past, present and future.

Today is Juneteenth, a day that commemorates the end of slavery in the United States and celebrates Black freedom, resilience, and resistance.

#Juneteenth reminds us that freedom was not simply granted; it was demanded, fought for, and won through generations of Black resistance

On Saturday, we celebrated our 9th birthday with Rooted & Crowned, and what a celebration it was! 🎉

The food was incredible, the energy was unmatched, and the vibes were truly 10/10.

[BLAM UK @BLAMCharity]

🧵Far right narratives poured fuel on the fire, but anti Blackness did not begin there.

Too often, Black communities are made the scapegoat for problems they did not create, allowing the real causes of inequality, exclusion, and injustice to go unchallenged.

🧵Stuart Hall wrote that race is the modality in which class is lived.

Belfast shows what that means. Black people were not targeted because of their character, beliefs, or contribution to society. They were targeted because racism made Blackness a target.

[Claudia Webbe @ClaudiaWebbe]

Masked men burned Black families out of their homes in Belfast.

The UK government calls it “civil disorder.”

By “civil disorder” they mean a race pogrom they refuse to name
