Black History Month UK 2023

In October, we stared through the 'Before Windrush' lens to examine the lives of Black Britons such as 19th century composer Samuel Coleridge-Taylor and Ivor Cummings, the forgotten mentor of the Windrush Generation, who were living in the UK before the arrival of the Empire Windrush in 1948.

​

Along with exploring the under-reported stories of Black doctors and nurses working in healthcare before the NHS such as Kofoworola Abeni Pratt, one of the first Black nurses to train in the NHS and a pioneer of nursing in post-independent Nigeria. The African princesses who trained as nurses during the second world war.
