Sylvan Debating Club

The debate clearly brought to light the lack of focus on black history and the accomplishments of blacks in the UK. The proposer made a clear case that black people still face significant personal and institutional racism, and that the impact on their lives is tangible and significant. The opposer pointed out that regret is a negative reaction, and took the House on a closed-eye journey through a typical daily routine, highlighting the large number of black inventions improving our lives today. We also heard a number of interesting perspectives from the floor speeches on different aspects of black history.

In the final vote the motion was defeated.
