If your interest is piqued, here's the #OpenAccess link to Robert Burrough's book "lack students in Imperial Britain : the African Institute, Colwyn Bay, 1889-1911" (2022) which details the lives and experiences of the Black students enrolled at Congo House/African Institute.

Been doing a little digging around the history of Colwyn Bay's Congo House to find names for future inclusion in the #Bywgraffiadur. I was aware that none of the students' names had yet been included in the list, but i was certainly surprised that not even the founder, William Hughes, has been recognised yet, even though he would have fallen well into the centre of the Venn diagram (white, male, man of the cloth).
Anyway, here's a charming little mini #documentary as a primer into the history of the establishment, its founder and his students.

The odious Micheal Gove on #Ridge today spoke about police numbers in areas affected by crime and then, staggeringly, goes on to say the #BAME community are "disproportionally the victims of crime"
So it's Stop and Search x 10 he REALLY wants
BUT
"It is reasonable to conclude that this interrelationship between policing and recorded offending exaggerates the extent to which the ethnic categories are then disproportionately understood to be involved in crime" from⬇️
Another terrible headline - on the main page the headline reads 'Put race at centre of Covid inquiry - campaigners' which sounds like race should be the most important part of the inquiry. Read what's actually said, though, and it's clear that they think that racism should be considered as a key issue at every stage of the inquiry. That's a very different and extremely important message.

"What can you do if you wish to help us? Well, please help us recruit to the project. Help us recruit, it’s a numbers game – we need tens of thousands of more people. Please help us recruit. We’re not doing so well in the non-white communities, and, as I said, only a few hundred people with #PostCovid "
