Subnormal: A British scandal

In 1960s and 70s, hundreds of black children in Britain were labelled as “educationally subnormal” and wrongly sent to schools for pupils who were deemed to have low intelligence.

Black parents, teachers and activists banded together to expose the injustice and force the education system to change.

UK viewers can watch Subnormal: A British Scandal on Thursday 20 May at 21:00 BST on BBC One and on BBC iPlayer.
