One of the UK’s most successful children’s authors has called for Black history to be taught in schools.
Malorie Blackman, who is best known for Noughts and Crosses which was turned into a BBC drama, said that history lessons should tell “the whole truth” about Britain's role in slavery.
The esteemed writer says that adding Black history to the curriculum could stop people from being accused of “race-baiting” when calling out racism, she told BBC News.
