This workshop explores the struggles and achievements of historic and contemporary black women from the past 250 years. Through focusing on women such as abolitionist Mary Prince and civil rights activist Rosa Parks, alongside child protestor Ruby Bridges- whose rebellious act of simply going to school made her a symbol for the discrimination faced by so many- students will learn how the actions of women, from Africa and the Caribbean, to America and England, have shaped our history. Or should we say, ‘her-story’.
Each hour-long workshop caters for a class group of 30 children from KS1 & KS2 pupils.
