About The Words


When shallow wannabe-writer Rory (Bradley Cooper) finds an old manuscript tucked away in a bag, he decides to pass the work off as his own. The book, called "The Window Tears," brings Rory great acclaim, until the real author (Jeremy Irons) shows up and threatens to destroy Rory's reputation. Cut to Clayton Hammond (Dennis Quaid), a writer whose popular novel "The Words" seems to mirror Rory's story, leading to speculation that the tome is Hammond's thinly veiled autobiography.

The black British history you may not know about

Nov 22,2023 2:51 pm

These children are in a queue in Brixton, South London , to see Queen Mary open Lambeth Town Hall 1938

"We have been in the UK and were pioneers, inventors, and icons. And Then colonialism happened, and that shapes the experiences of Black People - But that's not all, what We Are . "

These are The Words of Lavinya Stennett, founder of The Black curriculum, an organization that teaches black British History in schools and promotes education to the General Secretary, Gavin Williamson , is mandatory.

The death of George Floyd In America , thousands of People in the UK have been inspired to call for justice, marching through The Streets of our major cities.

Black Lives matter protesters here insist that. But some commentators have raised the question of whether racism exists in the UK, and to what extent.

George The Poet , who was asked on Newsnight, believes that a lack of education about black British History and the British Empire - plays a role in racism in the UK and our discussions about it.

The TRANS-Atlantic slave trade and the US civil rights movement are largely the only black History taught in UK schools, usually in October, when we celebrate Black History Month.

"lf you're leaving out of various stories and tales, you say that these People are not part of This Country , this nation, this Heritage - or they are not important enough to be taught, as is well known," says melody, a Triumph, a policy expert at The Black curriculum.

These are just a couple of episodes of black British History we were not taught in school.

1. The Ivory Bangle Lady research from the University of Reading in 2010, was a British-Roman woman, which dominated in New York, whose remains were found in 1901, had African ancestors

Some, perhaps, that The First Black People in Britain, arrived from The British colonies - countries in Africa, The Caribbean and Asia, the United Kingdom, in some cases, for centuries - 2. World War .

But this is not true, says to Lavinya, from The Black -and-curriculum.

"We know that Black People in Britain since Roman times and there are concrete examples. "

The Ivory Bangle Lady is the name given to The Remains discovered in New York in 1901, which is now on display in the York Museum. The archaeological analysis indicates that, although she was probably of North African origin born in Roman Britain ,.

The Remains have been dated to the Second Half of the 4. Century.

she was found with jet and elephant ivory bracelets, earrings, pendants, beads, a blue glass jug and a glass mirror. In other words, it was not bad.

"He makes assumptions that Black People have never said aspiration ally wealthy, or had any kind of wealth, the" Lavinya.

2. Henry Viii 's black trumpeter

During the Tudor Period it was to live in England. For those of us who are a little rusty on our Tudor appointments, We Are talking about the 1500s.

John Blanke , an African trumpeter, was one of them. His face can be seen, inscribed in a 60ft-long to celebrate the rolling of the presentation of the prestigious Westminster tournament of 1511-Henry Viii , The Birth of A Son .

There is even a letter from John Bright to ask Henry Viii for a wage increase.

"He asked for 8p per day. I don't know what the conversion is today, But that showed that he knew his worth," Lavinya says.

3. Britain's first black Queen? Portrait of Queen Charlotte by Johan Joseph Zoffany

she was a Princess from Germany, the faith of The British Queen After her marriage with king George Iii and many historians that Queen Charlotte had African ancestors.

she married in the year 1761, and Charlotte is The Mother of two British monarchs George Iv and William IV.

It has been argued that, despite coming from Germany, Queen Charlotte was descended from a black branch of The Portuguese Royal Family . was

king Afonso Iii of Portugal conquered the town of Faro from the Moors - Muslims from North Africa who lived in what is today Spain and Portugal in the Middle Ages in the 13Th Century . Afonso thought, you had a daughter three children, with The City governor's.

One of her sons, Martim Afonso Chichorro, is also said to have married into A Family with black ethnicity. He and his wife, Ines Lourenco de Sousa de Valadares, founded The Portuguese house of Sousa Chichorro, had Charlotte many descendants, including the Queen.

Queen Charlotte's great-granddaughter? Queen Victoria .

4. 'Hidden Charlotte in plain sight'

the Queen, whether she had, of African descent or not, joined the Royal Family in The Century , when Britain slave started-trading - the.

"A lot of The Time , we start with black History in London - it's London -centric. But a lot of Glasgow's wealth actually comes from the tobacco, the sugar, the cotton, which was created and worn by enslaved People in Jamaica, Trinidad and Barbados," Lavinya says.

Many of Glasgow's prominent downtown streets are named After 18Th Century slave-owner, the property, from plantations.

"You said that Black People were slaves, But you didn't say that the fruits of their labor, and the roads we walk on are actually. "

Lavinya says the doctrine of slavery is important, But you need to "contextualise it".

"to Talk about the knowledge that The People not only in the colonies, But also here in the UK. "

this also means That the teaching about the "Black People in Scotland, the part of the abolition of The Slave trade".

"Everything you hear is William Wilberforce " - a British politician, the - Lavinya says.

5. WW1 and The Race riots that followed,

If we talk about The Caribbean migration to England, we often think about the, at The Time of their arrival in the UK between 1948 and 1971.

"But Black People were actually brought over to fight from Jamaica in The First World War ," says Lavinya. Your great-uncle came to England at the Age Of 17 years to help The War and in London afterwards.

But she says her uncle was one of the "lucky", because he was not sent Back After The War .

When the soldiers returned to the UK After 1. World War , there was a jobs shortage and a lack of opportunities.

"White People from The Link that you get no jobs, because the Black People " and violence against black communities followed.

they are known as The Race riots were killed in 1919 in Glasgow, Liverpool, Cardiff and other ports in the whole of the UK, in which three People and Injured hundreds.

Charles Wotten, a black soldier, was killed in The Race riots

But there were economic consequences. Many of The Black soldiers and laborers found themselves without work After a "colour bar" was introduced in many sectors of industry, with white workers, often supported by the trade unions refused to work alongside Black People .

Many of The Black men were sent Back To the countries in which they lived before The War .

poverty and lack of jobs were a big factor for the riots, But it was also a fear that black men and white women were starting families.

"It fits into the hyper-sexualization of black men. White men felt threatened because they felt that black men took their women," Lavinya says.

6. The Bristol bus boycott A newspaper cutting shows students marching in Bristol in protest against a "colour bar" on the buses

After WW2 the Black People from The Caribbean and Africa, and The People of India, were asked to come to help the UK rebuild the country.

they were rolling to work in the NHS and other public sector, such as driving buses.

But in Bristol , the bus company, through The Council refused to employ black and Asian drivers, and finally to a boycott of the buses in the whole city.

"But it was not so easy," Lavinya says. To was not The Time to distinguish it illegal, based on race - The First Race Relations Act was passed in 1965, But not the laws about employment or housing until 1968.

Paul Stephenson , Roy Hackett and Guy Bailey were started by The Brains behind the boycott, and Paul Drew inspiration from the bus boycott in the United States, as, for what you have done in Bristol .

"White women, who walk their children to school or to work, would ask ourselves, what was it," he said. "Later they came and joined us. "
