Black History Walks present a very special historical tour along the South Bank as part of the WOW – Women of the World Festival.
Join Black History Walks , at the WOW Festival on this interactive tour of African and Caribbean history along the South Bank riverside and explore not only the fascinating link between Gentrification and Frankenstein but all of what has helped to shape the Black Britain we know today.
From ancient Africa to Anti-Apartheid to Caribbean entrepreneurs, Top Ten hits, World War 2, block-busting movies and best-selling authors, this walking tour will also take a deep dive into the crux of social movements such as Black British Civil Rights, the entwined history between White suffragettes and Black Power and the fight for clean water in the ‘third world’.
This free event takes place as part of the 13th WOW Festival, which takes over Royal Festival Hall with a packed three day programme to celebrate women, girls and non-binary people. There are talks, workshops, performances and more. Find out more here.
Black History Walks in London Volume 1 by Tony Warner, will be on sale at the WOW Festival at the Foyles stall.
