They have resources such as the following:
'Crossword - People in British History'
'Crossword - Iconic Black British Women'
'The British Empire Experiences of African and Caribbean People - Information Cards'
'Free Remembrance Day Resource' (A lesson about black people who fought for Britain in World War 1) |
So how many major non-white figures in UK history? The intent is to have teachings about non-white people who had a minor impact on UK history, therefore comparing it to the lack of white minor figures is valid.
The likes of Isambard Kingdom Brunel and Isaac Newton don't have a place in UK history simply because they were white, but because of the
major things they achieved.
Your(added later] examples are still not MAJOR figures.
