Rejected petition Change the Education curriculum In the UK to learn more about African history

Integration of Black & African history before the Atlantic slave trade to be taught in schools across the UK.

More details

This is an important pivotal part in the change of how black people are seen in the UK. It also allows people of African descent to know where they came from, not that we were just slaves. Studying African history gives us a deeper understanding of world history and even modern history.
The barbaric atrocities of the British and their role in all of this should also be touched upon so we can stop it from happening again.
