Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Create a National Museum of Black History and Culture
We do not have a world-class national museum dedicated to black history.
The British Museum was created by The British Museum Act 1753. The NMAAHC was established by an Act of Congress 2003.
To create a comparable museum we need an Act of Parliament to establish a new UK Black History Museum.

It will have 3 aims:

Change
