We are a collective of athletes, IT professionals, teachers, artists, authors and film-makers who collaborate to produce events, courses and resources on Black history in the UK. Our talks and presentations are delivered by professors, historians and academics who are experts in their fields. Over the years, Black History Walks has developed community partnerships with some of the most prestigious educational organisations in London, including the Imperial War Museum, National Portrait Gallery, Museum of Docklands and the British Film Institute. These partnerships have helped to significantly increase minority ethnic audiences.
