“There were Africans in Britain before the English came here”
We’ve got to challenge the systems that produce and deepen injustice.
Such as the ones that sideline Black history.
As an organisation working to become anti-racist, we want to show solidarity with Black communities.
That’s why these collections are putting this history front and centre.
It’s a celebration of everyday objects. Some of which you might find in an Oxfam shop.
We believe in a world where everyone thrives. And that includes people taking their rightful place in history.
Love is more than romantic.
It's loving yourself, your community, history, heritage and world around you.
It means rootedness with your ancestors and those yet to come.
This project is leading with love and solidarity.
Together we can transform the future.
It's time to break away from a past ruled by oppression and division.
Black British history is British history. And it matters to us all.
This project is bringing people together to celebrate Black history as one.
All of us, standing in collective power.
History is written by those who've held onto power. But together, we can challenge this.
This project is rewriting the narrative and returning power to communities.

All we need is a photo and a few words to describe why this object is important to Black British history.
