Hidden Black British history.

[Black History Month 2026 @bhmuk]

In 1965, Malcolm X visited Smethwick and exposed the harsh reality of racism in Britain, declaring, “This is worse than Harlem.” His visit challenged the nation to face uncomfortable truths — a legacy that still inspires the fight for equality today.

'Shall I tell you why you don't remember that story? It was a black kid - and a white man had the sword.'

“No one is born hating another person because of the colour of their skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.” N Mandela ‘94
