With Bristol band Massive Attack getting involved in Cargo Classroom, a project launched to diversify the English school curriculum, music and education are once again allies in celebrating Black history
As Black History Month draws to a close, Massive Attack’s involvement in Cargo Classroom couldn’t be more relevant. Originating in 1926, Black History Month centres the positive contributions of those of African and Caribbean descent; re-aligning the conversation to all aspects of Black history, rather than merely that of victimhood. In his recent visit to Bird & Bird, David Olusoga explained the importance of celebrating Black history and what we can all do to push the needle in the right direction going forward.
