...think the history national curriculum would benefit from a little more colour
Article Abstract:
The history curriculum in the United Kingdom tends to focus on the achievements of white people, ignoring the role played by people such as Granville Woods, the "black Edison", or Mary Seacole, a black nurse and contemporary of Florence Nightingale. While the teaching of history is changing and becoming more inclusive, more needs to be done to ensure that people such as Seacole get the recognition they deserve.
