Bristol group have written new music for Cargo Classroom project, which they describe as ‘a perfect piece of activism’
Members of the renowned Bristol band Massive Attack have collaborated on a new educational project aimed at increasing the diversity of the school curriculum in England.
Cargo Classroom (Charting African Resilience Generating Opportunities) is the brainchild of poet Lawrence Hoo and creative director Chaz Golding, who believe schoolchildren are missing important perspectives on history, a conclusion derived from their own educational experiences growing up and subsequent observations.
We Are England: The Classroom Revolution is due to be shown at 7.30pm on BBC One HD on Friday (14 Oct).
Black History Month: Do our children need more Black history lessons? Join Joseph Harker, Jeffrey Boakye, Lavinya Stennett and Desta Haile as they question how our children are taught about Black people’s contribution to Britain. Monday 24 October 2022, 8pm – 9pm BST.
