Black history is British history 
The intersectional crises we face require radical solutions to combat the injustices of racial and class inequality, writes CLAUDIA WEBBE MP

BLACK history has never been more important. Across the world, racism and the far right are on the rise. Yet we have also seen the largest mobilisation of anti-racist protest for decades in the form of the inspiring Black Lives Matter movement. 

At this crucial juncture, it has never been more important for us to learn from the history of racial oppression and to end the injustices that exist to this day. 

The scourge of institutional racism continues to affect us in all walks of life, from police use of force to the disproportionate number of black children who go to bed hungry.
