PROGRAMME:

Nov. 30 Reading British African History In Books. Special Guest: community historian Tony Warner

ESPECIALLY FOR PARENTS, TEACHERS, RESEARCHERS & LOVERS OF HISTORY:

A look at the history of documenting British African history in books; highlighting a selection of recently published lists, a personal selection and reflection by the special guest, plus opportunities to discuss particular books and their merits; plus the chance to order books on the night.

Following on from the various Zoom meetings we've organised and been consumed by hundreds of attendees from Britain and beyond, we've decided to offer a special, more focused programme for a small group serious about learning about British African history not commonly covered elsewhere.

Although there are no free options, we're offering until Nov. 1 40% off the price of the five events. In other words, 5 events for the price of 3 events, if booked in advance.

The £5 (individuals) and £10 (businesses, corporates, statutory bodies) payment options now open.

Each event is led by history consultant Kwaku, supported by a special guest, and moderated by political and community activist Nana Asante.

Dec. 7 Black Music And A History Of Racism In Britain: Dec. 7 1507-Dec. 7 2020: Click here to book

A 500+ year history of the engagement of racism in Britain with black music, Africans, and African musicians. Based mainly on documented fact with anecdotal and assumptive asides, it covers from the wicked consequences, the fortitude, the resilience, the conquering, the I-didn't-know-that to the fancy-that, and lots more details in between! An unmissable learning forum with space for you to have your say.

Produced by BTWSC/African Histories Revisited in association with BBM/BMC (BritishBlackMusic.com/Black Music Congress), TAOBQ (The African Or Black Question), and RE:IMI (Race Equality: In Music Industry).
