Comic book strip style slider image. On the left hand side of the image, a dark-skinned Black girl looks for a book on British history; she finds no information in the chapters on Empire and Decolonial movements. She has a lightbulb moment and searches online, where she finds resources from The Black Curriculum, Fill In The Blanks UK, and The Free Black University. She has stars in her eyes! On the right side of the image, the girl sits on the computer, and behind her there is a visualisation of all the things she is learning about, including a banner reading "Movement for Colonial Freedom', a Bristol bus in 1963 and a placard reading "Murder in Notting Hill"
