Since 2003, we have been producing a Black History book pack for our schools. Now on our 27th version, this collection is reviewed regularly to keep it relevant and to ensure it is packed with the most recent books available. This collection includes biographies of both historical and contemporary icons, as well as accounts of the anti-slavery, civil rights and anti-racist movements in the UK, North America and beyond. You'll find a range of formats to suit all types of readers: single title biographies as well as biography anthologies to dip in and out of; longer read historical fiction; hardback resources; picture books; chapter books. We strive for a good gender balance in this pack and we work very, very, hard, often against the odds, to include as much Black British History as possible (the current collection includes accounts of the Windrush; the UK's participation in the slave trade; Black presences/communities in Tudor & Roman Britain as well as historical/contemporary UK Black icons).
