@RemiJS90 @uomsoss @RunnymedeTrust @code @britishacademy Recent campaigns to decolonise Higher Education have made visible the “web of whiteness” that underpins the sector.
@RemiJS90 sets out why these ‘counter-narrative’ voices are needed.

Day 1: Okay, I'm doing this. It's a #BlackHistoryMonth thread. It's sad that we know more about Black American history, than we do about Black British struggles and successes. This thread hopes to be part of the focus on our erased and uncelebrated history.
Day 2: History
Black British history didn’t start in the 20th century. Erasing Black ppl from period dramas because 'it's not historically accurate' is just ignorant. The first known Black Briton is the skeleton of a woman with sub-Saharan ancestry, who lived around 200 AD.

Day 3: Were all early Black Britons slaves? No. There is evidence of powerful & wealthy African Romans. York excavations found remains of 'Ivory Bangle Lady', a high-ranking Roman woman of North African ancestry, suggesting a multi-cultural Roman Britain #BHM #BlackHistoryMonth
"Excluded, Inside the Lines" exhibit at the @winglukemuseum. Takes a deeper look at our history when discriminatory practices and laws - redlining - were used to exclude the Black community (+other communities of color) from accessing housing in many parts of Seattle. #BHM2020
"The exhibit includes personal stories of Seattleites who have faced housing discrimination in the past or are currently affected by gentrification. It also features maps and timelines that reveal how redlining has influenced what the city looks like today.
...maps of Seattle’s demographic distribution today look very much like demographic maps of the 1940s, when the practice of redlining and discriminatory housing practices limited homeowners of color to certain segments of the city."
Happy Black History Month 2020 ✨✊🏾
Every day this month I’ll be highlighting the accomplishments of a different Black female scientist, engineer, inventor, or STEM educator 👩🏾🏫
