The History of We - KS2 Teaching Resources and Activities

The History of We

LEVEL: KS2
THEMES: Human History, Black History Month, Global Learning

The History of We takes what we know about modern human civilisation and, through magnificent paintings, creates a tale about our shared beginnings in a way that centres Black people in humankind’s origin story.
