Black Bristolians: People Who Make a Difference.

This has been developed in partnership by Children and Young People's Services, the Bristol Black Archives Partnership (BBAP), and Firstborn Creatives.
The pack is designed to enable teachers to address a range of race equality issues with confidence, and to provide a sense of Black History and role models for young people.

Each pdf includes a shortened biography with photos, a full biography, lesson plans and resources for 18 Black Bristolians. Lesson plans for each Black Bristolian are available from Foundation Stage to Key Stage 3.
