Black History in Reading Town – A Talk by Dave Richards, Reading International Solidarity Centre
African-Caribbean people have been part of Reading’s story since the 18th century and maybe even before – in multi-cultural Roman Calleva (now Silchester). This illustrated talk will explore the people and places associated with the trans-Atlantic slave trade and its aftermath.

What is an Urban Room?
Organiser of Reading Black History
Your Place Our Place is an Urban rooms are spaces in towns and cities which offer local communities a place to exhibit and discuss issues that affect the community around future development.
This Urban Room in Broad Street Mall will be providing information to the local community about key issues such as the Reading Town Centre Strategy, offering a place for discussion to encourage awareness and connection between various communities. The activities in the Urban Room are based on the weekly topic decided from our analysis of the Quality of Life framework and the Reading Town Centre Strategy by the local council. Quality of Life framework is a set of principles established by the Quality of Life Foundation.
