Black History Month: Samuel Coleridge-Taylor

October is Black History Month, an annual commemoration of the history, achievements, and contributions of the Black British community. It is an important opportunity to not only highlight key moments in Black History and celebrate historical and current Black figures but to also challenge racism and think about why the visibility of minority ethnic groups is crucial.

Each resource forms a curriculum link to show how Black figures have influenced every aspect of society. This free worksheet explores the life of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, an English composer, conductor, and political activist who fought against racial prejudice with his incredible compositions.
