FIRST TERM ENGLISH EXAM

Read the text carefully then do the following activities

A/Comprehension ( 7pts)
October is Black History Month in the UK. It recognizes black people's achievements and teaches people
about black history. It started in the USA with the work of Carter G Woodson. He was a brilliant historian
and in 1912 he became the second African American to get a doctorate from Harvard University. His parents
had been enslaved and taken from Africa to America. But he saw that American history lessons did not
include the history of people like his parents. He started 'Negro History Week' to teach people about black
history. He wanted to give African Americans a sense of pride and identity and to protect them within wider
society.

After the killing of George Floyd in the USA in 2020, there has been huge international support for the
Black Lives Matter protests for racial justice. People want to talk about racism in schools, workplaces, sports
and other parts of society-and how we can stop it.

The Black Curriculum is a group of young people who want black British history to be taught in UK
schools. They say that learning about empire, movement and migration helps young people build a sense of
identity and improves social cohesion. Black history is an important part of British history, and learning
about it is necessary for understanding diversity and fighting racism. The Black Curriculum and groups like
it are asking the UK government to include black history in lessons all year round, not just in October. This
will make sure students get lessons that are relevant to them and that give them a positive sense of belonging.
