LET’S GET ‘OUR ROOTS’ IN EVERY LONDON SCHOOL LIBRARY!

There are just over 3,000 primary, secondary, special schools and PRUs in London  and we would love to give each of these a copy of 'Our Roots: the inspiring stories of our grandparents and great-grandparents’, along with grassroots organisations working with our young Kings and Queens. The money raised will cover printing the books, packaging, delivery and the administration cost to organise this. 

We believe the legacy stories will enrich and inspire the children and hope you will support with a donation that will go towards this project. We welcome any amount no matter how small from individuals or businesses that would love to support. The Windrush Scandal crushed many Caribbean dreams and still some people do not understand the sacrifice people made when they left their homes to come to the UK in the 50s, 60s and 70s. By reading these stories, it should give children and adults a taste.

Only 4% of BAME main characters are in children's books. At BlackJac we are family-run Black business working hard to ensure children of colour can see themselves in positive and heroic roles, and also give them the opportunity to write these books themselves.  Our purpose is to empower our youngsters and preserve legacy.

Feel free to contact us at blackjacmedia@gmail.com if you are a school or grassroots organisation and would love a copy of 'Our Roots' or if you have any further enquiries.

Thank you all for your support!
