Hello! The recent Black Lives Matter protests have led to renewed calls to rethink our understanding of British history. We’re talking about how to address the widespread lack of knowledge of black British history, as well as how the legacies of slavery and Empire shape racism today.

Dr Richard Benjamin from the International Slavery Museum explains how museums shape our understanding.
