The Portsmouth Black History group has been established to ensure that Portsmouth’s Black history is embedded as an integral part of our local history, and British history more broadly.
This initiative hopes to engage with the ordinariness of people’s experiences. It seeks to uncover the richness and diversity of Black lives in Portsmouth as an intrinsic part of our social fabric, as well as exploring what these stories can tell us about Portsmouth’s connectedness to and place in the wider world, as a port city and hub of international exchange.
