Professor Uzo Iwobi OBE FLSW, Founder and CEO Race Council Cymru – 

“The theme of the year Young People, the Time is Now! is a call to action for all young people to speak up about the contributions of Black people to society, to call out racist incidents, to challenge parents and adults around them to be inclusive. 

“This is the year where society is encouraged to hear the voices of young people and recognise them as future generation leaders. Now is the time to listen to their voices, now is the time to work with young people to embed Black history in schools and society at large. NOW is the time to take a stand for justice, inclusion and equity.”
