People of African heritage in Georgian London
Join one of our Hosts as we explore the lives of the Georgian Londoners.
In the 18th century, about 15,000 people of African heritage lived in London. They had a variety of occupations such as shop owners and musicians. Some were writers who championed the anti-slavery movement, while others lived as part of aristocratic families.
Join us for this free talk to hear more about these Londoners and what their lives might have been like.
This talk takes place on 5, 11, 12, 19, 25 and 26 October
