The assemblies this week we have concentrated on Black History Month.

All people should be treated equally, right? Regardless of where you come from, what religion you follow, where you work, what language you speak or whether you’re a boy or a girl. Well, sadly, this isn’t always the case, and many groups of people around the world still suffer as a result of prejudices and discrimination.

Thankfully, there are some amazing people who have done incredible things to fight for equality. One such person was a civil rights activist called Rosa Parks.

 

On Wednesday Mr Hick led an assembly which focused on celebrating the achievements of well known black people from the worlds of sport and entertainment. We discussed how these people have achieved many things and often had to overcome prejudice to do so – now they are calling out prejudice.

People we looked at included Beyonce, Barrack Obama and Mr Hick’s favourite Tiger Woods!
