London, England
May 17 – May 24, 2021
London has been a major settlement for two more than 2000 years. Londinium was founded by the Romans. However, evidence has been found that verify that the area was inhabited more than 6000 years ago. It has grown to become on of the largest, and most important global cities, having built an empire that reached around the world.
The term Black British is referring to the Black British West Indian people from the former Caribbean British colonies in the West Indies now referred to as the Windrush Generation, and those people from Britain’s former colonies who are residents of the United Kingdom and are considered British.
Almost 97% of Black Britons live in England, particularly in England’s larger urban areas, with most (over a million) Black British living in Greater London. The city of Liverpool, home of The Beatles music group, that took the world by storm in the 1960’s and ’70’s, also has a sizeable and historically relevant Black population. Our London connection, Paul Ambrosius has lived extensively in both cities and will guide you to the places of interest that make London such a diverse and exciting city!
