We know black history is important every day - but for those who wish to control us, 'Black History Month' happens every October and last year I had the privilege of speaking to race equality activist Taranjit Chana. This year I was delighted to invite Tyehimba Nosakhere, another prominent race equality activist, to give a 'truth-speaker' masterclass around black history.

We must never underestimate how the collective failure to bring proper history - not misstory as Tye calls it, detrimentally impacts all children growing up. For black children it is a denial of the truth and an opportunity to stand proud in classrooms. The collective failure to look through the lens of truth on history also undoubtedly fuels the inequality that exists in society today.

Bandofla also offers a roundup of a few other political bits & pieces as our Tory Government goes into overdrive to crush vulnerable people already on their knees, by cutting £1,000 in Universal Credit benefit a year from the poorest. 

I hope you enjoy the episode. Follow Bandofla on Twitter or use Anchor to send us a voice message if you want to air an opinion (you have 60 second facility to have your say!). Spread the Bandofla word - spread our love & thank you for listening.
