34 years ago Grenadian scholar Bernard Coard caused a social and political storm by telling it how it was in his seminal study How the West Indian Child is Made Educationally Sub-Normal in the British School System.

Three decades on, our schools are still failing Black children. Tell it Like It Is brings the debate firmly into the 21st century.
