A diversity consultant says Black History Month, which started in 1987, needs to be the start for conversations about how the stories of black and brown people are embedded in school curriculums throughout the year.
Ellisha Soanes is a co-director of Aspire Black Suffolk, which supports organisations on race, equality and inclusion.
Speaking on BBC Radio Suffolk, she said: “It’s about how do we move forward? How do we teach it? Because I’m not black just in a month and then I’m back in my box.
“It’s about what narratives and what stories are being told in history, what stories are being told from different communities?”
