Join us in Studio A at White City House on Monday 21 October as we dive into Black Britain’s history and unpack some of our misconceptions.
The common narrative is that Blackness in Britain emerged shortly after World War II. Before this, Britain was a linguistically and culturally monolithic entity. Black people were confined to the African continent until the commencement of the Transatlantic slave trade. This is a fallacy, Britain has a long, rich history with critical cultural, social, and economic contributions coming from Black individuals.
In this Redefining Narratives lecture, Romain will challenge the conventional view of the Black presence and history in Britain and contributions from ancient times to today. This talk will reshape our understanding by highlighting the enduring impact of Black Britons across the centuries.
