Last week students at Landau Forte College Derby delivered a series of powerful gatherings to their peers to promote the importance of Black History Month (BHM). The gatherings covered the reasons for the need for BHM and important role models and inspirational figures from the black community including Katherine Johnson, a mathematician who conducted ground breaking work for NASA for several decades. The students were clear that even today discrimination is still present in many forms and it is crucial that we work together to understand, appreciate and celebrate our diversity.
