This PowerPoint has been used for home learning and in schools for year 5 and 6 to support their understanding of the Black Lives Matter movement which has recently seen an increase in activity due to the death of George Floyd, a black man murdered by white police in Minneapolis, USA. In the notes section of the powerpoint, there are plenty of links to articles and videos suitable for children to help them understand systemic racism and how they can help by learning and growing to become allies to people of colour.
