In this 9-part series, we explore the stories of Black people throughout time across the globe, placing Africa at the centre of human story.
We will travel across the civilisations of precolonial Africa, taking a look at how societies were run, what people did on a daily basis, the educational, mathematical & scientific advancements of the times, as well as examining the incredible ancient monuments. We will also delve into the buried history of Black resistance to Western imperialism, from the dawn of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade to the epoch of colonisation.
The history of Black resistance to mass enslavement by Europeans is the most neglected area when it comes to discussing the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. This week, we will take you through this courageous struggle for freedom, which started on the shores of Africa, continued across the Middle Passage and triumphed in the “New World”.
This event is for all ages and anyone looking to learn more about Black history outside of the Civil Rights Era.
