Greater Manchester calls for slavery education to be compulsory in schools

Civic leaders in Greater Manchester will make the case to government for education around slavery and the slave trade to be 'compulsory' learning in primary and secondary schools. They have also collectively agreed to call on the Prime Minister to introduce a national Slavery Memorial Day.

The motion agreed in Salford stated: "Slavery was practiced by several nations, including the United Kingdom, for decades. In the process fortunes were made and those forced or sold into slavery suffered many indignities including beatings, shackling, and appalling living conditions. "Slavery should be more publicly acknowledged and studied, taught in all of our schools and given the same local and national level of importance as the Holocaust.

Salford's mayor, Paul Dennett, said slavery was 'institutionalised when the first civilisations emerged'. He said the main aim of the motion was to 'call for a better understanding of slavery within our education system'.

Let’s start with modern day slavery Africa by Africans 😞 that the black billionaires in Africa could stop tomorrow, or the black famous multimillionaires who bang on about BLM ✊🏿 all the time, and do fk all 🤔 but it’s probably white peoples fault AGAIN 😆
