''It''s time we told our story too. The melanin speaks for itself.'' - George the Poet

From Africans in Roman Britannia to the first Black actor to play Othello on stage, from Malcolm X''s visit to the West Midlands to highlighting an organizer of the UK''s first Gay Pride, this important collection reveals unsung people and events from our past to recognize the intrinsic impact they''ve had on Britain today.
