“Faces in the Picture: Black History in Wales” by Peter Alexander, Curator, Heritage Consultant, and the creator of the Black History Stories Wales research website.
The stories you will find here are not only those of black Welsh people, but of links from Wales to British colonial history, including the African Slave Trade, ownership of plantations in the British colonies and the European colonisation of Africa during the Nineteenth Century.
Some of these stories are shocking, some surprising, but others are inspiring. This is continuing research and participation and research and reading suggestions are encouraged.
