Teachers: Don’t let our kids walk back through those school doors as if the summer race riots didn’t happen. We spent all of August protecting Black and Brown kids from people who might be sitting next to them in the classroom this week. It’s your job to keep our babies safe.

Exciting times! We currently in the process of setting up our second community library that will feature over 700 Black British Books (children & adult titles). If you have any books you want to donate then send them to us Black British Book Festival Pls RT x

Good morning all, I'll be finalising my book on the gentrification of Hackney this December! But...I'm still keen to hear from anyone who wants to share their views about gentrification in the borough over the decades. You can fill out the survey here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…
