POC IOM launch 'Educating Mann'

Group hopes to change attitude towards racism on Island

POC (People of Colour) IOM is running a new campaign called 'Educating Mann', which aims to improve the conversation and education about race, and bring about change in attitudes towards racism on the Isle of Man.

Its a social media challenge which can be undertaken by reading books on the subject, signing relevant petitions, and nominating a friend to do the same.

POC IoM member Dominique Moran says recent events have highlighted the need for change:
