Watched an episode of Jojo and GranGran with my son yesterday that was about hair. And how lovely to see little Black babies on tv getting their hair braided. My son was so taken with it and we were able to compare it to his hair. It’s not an opportunity we get often.

Paul Gilroy, one of the foremost theorists of race and racism, has very generously donated several hundred books from his university office library, for which we are very grateful. We will be selling these books, priced mostly from £1-5, from the 18th of January onwards. Come find a hidden treasure!
