Welcome to Brighton and Hove Black History
Brighton and Hove Black History Project seeks to reveal Brighton and Hove’s hidden past and helps local people get involved in mapping their own history of Brighton and Hove.
We aim to, show how everyone (both black and white) can learn from each other and become more aware of Brighton and Hove’s cultural heritage and enable Black and minority people to represent their experiences.
History is a living thing which we can all contribute to!
