It was a joy to meet with researchers from across the world. I also loved my panel’s intervention at NACBS: an ethical discussion of #BlackBritishHistory by eight Black/ mixed-race early career researchers. A visual reminder that Black people are the makers of history, and not simply its subjects.

Join us for a #BlackHistoryMonth roundtable discussion on Processing the Past: New Histories of Black British Culture and Identity.

RIP to Dr. Marika Sherwood: a huge inspiration among historians and activists, and a founder of the Black and Asian Studies Association. Without her tireless contributions over the past few decades, the field of Black British History would look very different today. We owe her so much 🖤✊🏽
