Join London Museum Docklands in October to discover the stories and experiences of Londoners of African heritage throughout the centuries.
Experience ancient African wisdom and practices that have resurfaced in the contemporary European psyche, and journey through the stories of some of the 15,000 Londoners of African heritage who lived in 18th-century London.
Celebrate the help London received during the Second World War, the birth of the NHS from men and women traveling from the Caribbean, and the legacies of African American GIs positioned in the UK.
