Professor Charlotte Williams: Bringing Black and Minority Ethnic Histories into the Welsh Curriculum

Cymru fydd y genedl gyntaf yn y DU i wneud addysgu hanes Pobl Dduon, Asiaidd ac ethnig lleiafrifol yn orfodol yng nghwricwlwm yr ysgol. Yn y podlediad hwn mae Dr Anita Shaw yn siarad â'r fenyw a chwaraeodd ran bwysig wrth ddod â'r newid nodedig hwn yn ei gylch. Mae'r Athro Charlotte Williams OBE yn ferch i fam Gymraeg a thad o Guyana ac mae hi'n rhannu ei phrofiadau o dyfu i fyny yn Llandudno fel yr unig ddisgybl du yn ei dosbarth. Clywn am ei chenhadaeth i'w gwneud yn hawl pob disgybl i addysg sy'n eu harfogi i ddeall a pharchu eu hanesion, eu diwylliannau a'u traddodiadau eu hunain a'i gilydd. Mae’r podlediad yma’n Saesneg yn unig. 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. In this podcast Dr Anita Shaw talks to the woman who played a major part in bringing this landmark change about. 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.
