Description: In the final workshop of our webinar series, we’ll investigate the lasting significance of the 1981 uprisings (including the Brixton ‘Riot’), exploring how a greater focus on the lead up to the uprisings can clarify their causes, events, and aftermath. We’ll consider the creative and determined forms of Black and global majority activism that are at the heart of the uprisings topic, but which seldom find their way into textbooks and resources: significant for who?  This session will focus on primary sources, asking participants to consider how their choice of sources and provenance can help students to understand discrimination and resistance, and how using varied sources can strengthen source-analysis skills.  Teacher takeaways:  Curated, classroom-ready sources from Black Cultural Archives, The London Archives, and other archive partners, to get students closer to grassroots collections and records  Ready-to-teach editable slides recapping the stories in brief  Ideas for incorporating stories into your existing schemes of work  Access to our Substack and website, apeopleshistory.uk
