Taking A Stand leaflet

“The Crisis Facing Black Children in the British Schooling System – A Call to Independent Action by Black Students”

This pamphlet is a devastating critique of the failure to organise in the aftermath of the March 2002 “London Schools and the Black Child” Conference. It also provides a framework and a positive way forward to form autonomous education organisations in the black community.
