Today I’m sharing this fabulous book Stephen Bourne The History Press FCBG #NNFN2024 #Rememberance Filled with extraordinary stories of Britain’s Black community in the First World War it should have a place in every History department but perfect for UKS2 as well. ❤️❤️❤️


#BOTW KS3 is Black Poppies by Stephen Bourne, which explores the many ways in which the black community helped Britain fight WW1. #BOTW KS4 is Remembrance by Theresa Breslin, a thought provoking story of two families from different backgrounds, brought together by war.

Paul Embery It's been estimated that in the 1930s the black British population was about 25,000 and mostly concentrated on the port towns and big cities. Their contribution to the war effort is highlighted in a book called 'Under Fire: Black Britain in Wartime' by Stephen Bourne.
