Britain in the 70s and 80s was rumbling with a Black community fighting for change. And while the spoken word of protest was crucial in working to achieve this, the printed word also played a role in galvanising and establishing freedom movements.

Drawing on the Huntley Archives at the LMA, she discusses how Black magazines, pamphlets and newspapers worked to bring the Black community together and challenge Britain’s racism.
