Southwark Schools Screenings: Black Heroes Foundation Documentary film
‘The Story of Sam King’
The Black Heroes Foundation visited schools in Southwark to screen the
documentary film “The Story of Sam King”.
Sam King was a World War 2 Veteran
who returned to the UK on the Windrush Empire, and later formed the Windrush
Foundation. Sam King was also the first Black Mayor of Southwark.
Before watching
the film students had general discussions about Heroes, what made a Hero, and who
their Heroes were. After watching the film students then considered Sam’s story and
his achievements, and carried various activities reflecting on their learning.
