Update 26/02/23: Futurelearn and The Open University collaborated on a free online course titled Union Black: Britain's Black Cultures and Steps to Anti Racism which is unfortunately only for current university students and staff, however, if you meet the criteria then you can apply for a scholarship to complete it through Santander Scholarships. I completed the course last year and I learnt a lot about Black British history (which I was appalled is not covered in the school curriculum), bias and micro agressions, as well as the difference between non-racism and anti-racism. The course is great for understanding what your fragility and privilege, and it allowed me to reflect on how I can commit to being an ally to all ethnic minorities and marginalised groups. (Note: I am not sponsored to talk about this course, I just think it is necessary for people to learn more about Black British history and culture).

Most of you have probably heard of what happened in America last week – George Floyd was suffocated to death by a police officer who knelt on his neck. The murder has reignited deep rage for the generations of black people who were victim to police brutality.
