Law School Black History Month Lecture 2026

'When will Black history become mandatory in England's national curriculum?'

Speaker: Professor Olivette Otele, SOAS University of London

In Wales, a community-led movement has changed the nation's school curriculum, ensuring all pupils across Wales are taught Black history. Professor Olivette Otele, Distinguished Research Professor of the Legacies and Memory of Slavery at SOAS University, will tell the story of the activists who led the campaign, asking when will England commit to including Black history in the curriculum?
