“Music would have played an important role in relieving some of the racial tension that the community may have encountered”: Karl Arthur in ‘Music, Dance and Politics in Georgian Britain’ - read it now in the newest edition of the History Matters Journal! https://t.co/KkzMPD7meV

We are so pleased to hear from longstanding researcher and recent MRes graduate @cliffjpereira on his experience of the course. Cliff has over 15 years of experience in exploring the historical presence of Africans in Asia. For him, "the time seemed right to do this MRes"

Our YHP virtual Christmas social event was hosted by @KaitleneK. We played a fun quiz about Black British History, and then we shared our drawings of Kaitlene as Santa! We believe our artistic skills are wasted as historians… what do you think?👇🏿😂 Merry Christmas from YHP! 🎄🎅🏿

Please help Nia this Christmas if you can. I was disgusted to learn that she was made homeless as a lone senior amputee. Nia is one of many Black women whose contributions to anti-racist activism are overlooked. It is time that we take care of her! https://t.co/PS18nWXcTD
