Mr Fakouri and Sam took us to visit the National Archives. When we arrived, we were greeted by one of the lovely curators. We learnt about famous black people who had contributed a lot to society. For example, we learnt about Hezikiah Moscow who was an up and coming boxer. He was faced with racism and then went missing. He was never found and there are no clues to his whereabouts. We saw documents and pictures of him from more than 100 years ago. We also saw census entries from 1911. The workshop was very interesting and made me want to know more. On our tables, we had a designated person we had to learn about through texts and photographs. I feel as if this activity has improved my inference skills and my knowledge of the black community in an engaging and enjoyable way.
