From science and sport to literature and law, celebrate the brilliant Black people who have helped build Britain from the days of our earliest ancestors to the Black Lives Matter movement. Black England explores a fascinating chapter of our shared past, a chapter that has been ignored too long. Georgian England had a large and distinctive Black community. Join this fascinating journey through the ages to meet those first Britons, as well as the Black Romans, Tudors, Georgians and Victorians who existed in every walk of life in Britain. Many were famous and respected: most notably Francis Barber, Doctor Johnson's beloved manservant; Ignatius Sancho, a correspondent of Laurence Sterne; Francis Williams, a Cambridge scholar, and Olaudah Equiano whose Interesting Narrative went into multiple editions.
