Exclusive: Majority of British people found to have ‘shockingly little’ knowledge about Black British history
Exclusive: Majority of British people found to have ‘shockingly little’ knowledge about Black British history
Whilst I am sympathetic to the overall aim of this, things like this:
…do stand out as being a a bit unrealisitic. I mean, how many governors of Roman Britain of any race or nationality can the typical Briton actually name? I’d be surprised if it was more than 1 and probably less than that.
And if the expectation is that anyone would know of this guy only because his chief contribution to history is “being black” then I am not sure what we are gaining here.
I couldn’t name any Roman governor, of any race, ethnicity, or governate.
