Black History Month might be drawing to a close but that does not mean we should turn away from the history books. If we do not learn about and learn from Black history, then we put ourselves at risk, a leading historian has warned.
"Black history is part of British history and everyone should learn this history to make themselves fully equipped and fully aware of some of the issues around British life," says Professor Patrick Vernon OBE.
"It is important that everyone learns the history of all communities, so ultimately we can make better decisions in boardrooms, the NHS, local government and national government, otherwise we make bad policies and bad decisions," he continued.
