An evening of Black British history X Chinakwe

A Black British history event with the new Chinakwe store in Brixton Village. Whenever there is a book about Black British history it's always followed by the words untold or hidden. Too many of the figures of Black British history are exactly that, unknown and hidden from mainstream history and culture. Join this engaging and intimate session where book influencer, children's author and Black British history enthusiast Claire Linney will talk about some of her favourite 'hidden' figures from Black British history from Roman Britain to the Victorian circus. The session will look at why understanding Black history is so important in understanding British history and the critically important role that fiction has in highlighting these stories.
