our history
A small Story
The Black Curriculum is a social enterprise founded by 22 year old Lavinya Stennett in 2019 shortly after her studies at SOAS to address the Eurocentricity and the lack of Black British history in the national Curriculum.
Joined by Bethany Thompson and Lisa Kennedy in 2019, the team and services grew rapidly. Our work was heightened by the global 2020 wave of racial reckoning and grew stronger ever since. We are so proud of our mission to #TBH365.
Our programmes are for all young people aged 3-25 and aims to equip young people with a sense of identity, and the tools to navigate a diverse landscape. We aim to embed Black history in the English national curriculum to include a wide range of contextual examples of Black British histories.
Our vision and Mission
We are an international institute leading reparatory justice by reimagining Black history, arts and culture across education and society.
Our mission is to embed Black history into the curriculum, propel meaningful conversations 365 days a year, and position The Black Curriculum as a leading voice in history, arts and culture.
