The inspirational @lamb_heart_tea shared insights and resources for teaching significance in KS1 in relation to Northern Black figures. An example of the excellent potential for teaching #BlackHistory #NorthernHistory in the primary curriculum.

Places such as Sunderland in the NE of England are typically overlooked in the teaching of #BlackBritish history. This engaging walk is great for teachers and students seeking to develop their understanding of how #LocalHistory links to the national and global👇

Ooh yes please do! The @ProjectNS46 resource and speakers at the #PNSLaunch will share content that is relevant to teachers from all phases, and the local history perspective aligns well with aspects of KS1 and 2. Thank you! 🙏
Replying to @ShabanaMarshall
Wow, what a wonderful idea! Are you happy for primary teachers to attend this as well? If so, may I share it on my Facebook group too as there are teachers in the North East there.

@oluoyee presentation at the #PNSLaunch will highlight the important ways in which Black Northerners and communities have helped enrich Northern life👇
Individual stories provide a powerful means for speaking back to deficit and dehumanising narratives. We look forward to the awesome @oluoyee presenting at #PNSLaunch on some of the unsung heroes of the NE Black communities🖤

I'm looking forward to this! A great example of how the North East's local connections to empire history link to national and global histories!👇
What can a beautiful 18thC mansion tell us about the NE connections to the Transatlantic Trade in Enslaved Africans? Join us at the #PNSLaunch where Ean Parsons, owner of 'The Manor House' in Sedgefield, will share the history he uncovered 'hidden in full view'.
