A Wandsworth Libraries African History Month event delivered by BTWSC/African Histories Revisited.
Exploring The Legacies Of Dame Jocelyn Barrow And Other Inspirational British African Women
A free, family-friendly event.
This Zoom online and interactive session is led by history consultant Kwaku. He will through a screening of the ‘What They Said I Should Be: The Story of African British Female Movers & Shakers’ DVD and other film footage, highlight the work of a number of British African women, and give the audience an opportunity to explore their legacies or on-going contributions. Kwaku is an author/editor of a number of books; educator specialising in black music and African British history; and the editor of the website BritishBlackMusic.com.
Attendees are encouraged not only to ask questions, but to also offer names of notable women not mentioned in either videos or presentation.
