400 years on and we still have protests on the streets. Black lives don't matter in this country. There is no recognition other than the media feeding stories on 'gangs', 'stabbings' and 'theft'.
In Germany, the schools have an education system on Nazi's, Hitler and the whole WW2. This has be implemented to make sure it does not happen again.
We have to educate in schools about the slavery period, black history and British invasion to make sure this does not happen again. The nation needs it
