The material in this collection covers the early period of the Black Education Movement and the Black Supplementary Schools Movement (1968-1975). It represents just part of that Movement, which was and never has been a single organisation. However, it covers some of the major campaigns of the early period of the Black Education Movement that were based in North London, in particular the London Borough of Haringey.
These early campaigns should also be seen as the background to, or the initial phase of, the Black Parents Movement (BPM), which ran from 1975 into the mid 1980s (see archive collection 'BPM'). The Black Supplementary School Movement (BSSM) spans both phases, being instigated by the Black Education Movement, but continuing alongside the Black Parents Movement. The majority of Black Supplementary School material is catalogued under the archive collection 'BEM'.
The collection consists of 4 sections: BEM/1: Banding Proposals, divided into: BEM/1/1: Haringey Education Committee: Documents on Banding. BEM/1/2: Anti-banding Campaign. BEM/2: Black Education Movement Associations, divided into: BEM/2/1: Foundation of Black Education Movement Associations. BEM/2/2: The Caribbean Education and Community Workers Association (CECWA). BEM/3: Black Supplementary Schools, divided into: BEM/3/1: The George Padmore and Albertina Sylvester Black Supplementary Schools. BEM/3/2: Provision of Supplementary Education: General. BEM/4: Public Support and Awareness of Educational Issues, divided into: BEM/4/1: Campaigns. BEM/4/2: Education Societies and Projects. BEM/4/3: Conferences and Meetings on Education. BEM/4/4: Publications and Booklists. BEM/4/5: Education in the Community. BEM/4/6: Background Research on Education. BEM/4/7: Correspondence. The collection is largely file based, with a fluid structure. Working files are common, with information gathered from a variety of sources, leading to some duplication between files.
