In this episode of HEP Talks, Luke Kemper talks Charles Golding and Lawrence Hoo, cofounders of the CARGO movement.
CARGO stands for 'Charting African Resilience Generating Opportunities' and the organisation has created some wonderful opportunities for expanding the presence of Black-heritage characters in the school curriculum. The resources they created, altogether titled CARGO Classroom, are available through the link below.
