Civil rights activist Jesse Jackson has called on universities to “include people of colour” as he said racism is “bone-deep” in Britain and the US.
The US Baptist minister and politician, who worked with Martin Luther King Jr, spoke out about racism on a Black Lives Matter(BLM) solidarity panel hosted by the National Education Union (NEU).
His comments come after three weeks of global anti-racismdemonstrations sparked by the death of George Floyd, an African American, in Minneapolis police custody on May 25.
