To mark Black History Month, Oathall will be holding special tutor sessions based on the Windrush, in addition to assemblies on George Arthur Roberts, who served in World War 1 and was a Blitz fireman – now part of a new display in the Imperial War Museum, London.
The Oathall history department is also running a competition to celebrate Black History Month and diversity in Britain.
Students are invited to submit something creative that symbolises the diversity in Britain today. Ideas for this include things like a poem, a short story, or a piece of artwork.
Entries need to be submitted to the history department by 15 November. Additionally, for those students choosing to do a poem as their entry, you might also consider submitting at a national level to the BHM poetry competition.
