scan national newspapers for stories that feature
Black people and where possible give you the
opportunity to read them. For obvious reasons we
cannot reproduce these stories, but will show you
where to find them giving you the chance to view
how the different publications deal with Black
subjects and portray Black people. REMEMBER
these are not our words, but where the
subject/person is listed in on our site you will
also be able to view things from what we believe
to be a wholly Black perspective |
