Akyaaba Addai-Sebo: the shocking conversation that led him to start UK Black History Month
In the mid-1980s he invited Angela Davis, Winnie Mandela, Jesse Jackson and Ray Charles to talk to communities across the country. Thus began an enormous, ongoing, consciousness-changing event.
One morning in late 1985, Akyaaba Addai-Sebo walked into work and had a casual conversation with a colleague that would change the trajectory of British society. Then 35 years old, he was working at the Greater London Council (GLC) as a coordinator of special projects in the Ethnic Minorities Unit.
"Elizabeth, the secretary of the principal race relations adviser Ansel Wong, came to work looking very downcast," he recalls. "I asked her: 'Elizabeth, What's wrong?' She said: 'Last night I was putting my son Marcus to bed and he asked, 'Why can't I be white?' As she told me the story, she was crying. 'I named my son after Marcus Garvey,' Elizabeth told me, 'And here he is, just six years old questioning his identity. I’ve failed my son.'"
Addai-Sebo responded: "No, you haven't failed your son. The national curriculum, local authorities, churches and the institutions - they have failed your son. Not only your son. They've failed all children growing up in this country."
"I decided that every child growing up in the UK must have an appreciation and an understanding of Africa, Africans, people of African descent - their contributions to world civilisations from antiquity to the present, and especially to the growth and development of the UK and Europe."

She said: 'Last night I was putting my son Marcus to bed and he asked, 'Why can't I be white?' As she told me the story, she was crying. 'I named my son after Marcus Garvey,' Elizabeth told me, 'And here he is, just six years old questioning his identity. I’ve failed my son.'"
Addai-Sebo responded: "No, you haven't failed your son. The national curriculum, local authorities, churches and the institutions - they have failed your son. Not only your son. They've failed all children growing up in this country."
"I decided that every child growing up in the UK must have an appreciation and an understanding of Africa, Africans, people of African descent - their contributions to world civilisations from antiquity to the present, and especially to the growth and development of the UK and Europe."

Akyaaba Addai-Sebo: the shocking conversation that led him to start UK Black History Month
In the mid-1980s he invited Angela Davis, Winnie Mandela, Jesse Jackson and Ray Charles to talk to communities across the country. Thus began an enormous, ongoing, consciousness-changing event.
One morning in late 1985, Akyaaba Addai-Sebo walked into work and had a casual conversation with a colleague that would change the trajectory of British society. Then 35 years old, he was working at the Greater London Council (GLC) as a coordinator of special projects in the Ethnic Minorities Unit.

Brazil's first-ever minister for Indigenous peoples Sonia Guajajara: 'It is time for the world to look at our way of life'
Sonia Guajajara rose from poverty to become one of Brazil's most formidable politicians. She talks about battling farmers, miners and land grabbers - and why technology is not the answer to the climate crisis.
Just days after a groundbreaking supreme court victory, Sonia Guajajara, Brazil's first minister for Indigenous peoples, has a new target in her sights.
She is preparing to oppose efforts in the Brazilian parliament, backed by the agricultural business lobby, to reinstate the controversial "time limit" ("marco temporal"). This legal doctrine established restrictions for Indigenous land claims, and so favoured farmers, miners and land grabbers. The decision to abolish the time limit bolstered the Indigenous campaign for land rights in Brazil and Latin America.
But opposition quickly escalated, with senate committee members hastening discussions to re-establish the doctrine in law.
If that happens, it would mean Indigenous communities will only be able to claim rights to lands occupied or requested as of 5 October 1988.

Brazil's first-ever minister for Indigenous peoples Sonia Guajajara: 'It is time for the world to look at our way of life'
Sonia Guajajara rose from poverty to become one of Brazil's most formidable politicians. She talks about battling farmers, miners and land grabbers - and why technology is not the answer to the climate crisis.
Just days after a groundbreaking supreme court victory, Sonia Guajajara, Brazil's first minister for Indigenous peoples, has a new target in her sights.
She is preparing to oppose efforts in the Brazilian parliament, backed by the agricultural business lobby, to reinstate the controversial "time limit" ("marco temporal"). This legal doctrine established restrictions for Indigenous land claims, and so favoured farmers, miners and land grabbers.
