What is Prince of Peckham University ?
Black History Walks has teamed up with the Prince of Peckham pub to offer high quality, educational talks by Black academics on a variety of subjects. Prince of Peckham is a black-owned venue offering high quality food, drink and entertainment. Black History Walks runs walks, talks, films, river cruises, helicopter and steam train tours on London’s Black history. All of our speakers hold doctorates, are Phd students or authors
There will be fascinating talks each Tuesday from 15 July to 23 September 6.30-8.30pm. Just book your free ticket, come have a drink, meet nice people,chew a pattie and learn. Just as good as Oxford/Cambridge, but it won’t cost you £9000 !
These events provide a safe space at a time when they are serious cuts to to Black history /education at Chichester, Birmingham and Goldsmiths universities. Executives at BSix College in Hackney, that has a record of pushing Black students to Oxford/Cambridge, wants to cut its education/Black history programme due to ‘restructuring’ . The BFI Southbank despite 17,000 signatures to keep the 17-year-old African Odysseys, educational, anti-racist film series going, has cancelled the programme due to ‘restructuring’.
