As we find more and more new evidence of the contribution of Black, Asian and ethnic minorities within the First World War, we are using this information to create educational resources to be used in local schools. We have enjoyed a number of sessions, where we have been able to pilot a few exercises and resources in local primary schools.
There will be more information about this aspect of the project as well as details about the names and actions of individuals involved in the war to follow soon. But if you can’t wait till then, then why not come along to another of our information days.
We will be displaying and discussing our findings at South Shields Library on Saturday 16 May, from 12 – 4 pm as we take part in South Tyneside Remembers: John Simpson Kirkpatrick and Gallipoli 1915.
