Wales is set to become the first nation in the UK to make the teaching of Black, Asian and minority ethnic history mandatory in the school curriculum.

Professor Charlotte Williams OBE is the daughter of a Welsh-speaking mother and a father from Guyana and she shares her experiences of growing up in Llandudno as the only black pupil in her class. We hear about her mission to make it the right of all pupils to an education that equips them to understand and respect their own and each other’s histories, cultures and traditions.
