Fascinating Key Figures in Dorset’s Black History

We thought you might like to see this little slideshow showing the key figures in Dorset’s Black History that we are going to talk about during Black History Month on our social media platforms. Keep an eye on our Facebook and Instagram pages to find out more about each of these incredible people as we’ll be posting regularly throughout the month.

DEED proudly partners with other organisations to research black history and there are many organisations across the South West currently working to reclaim hidden histories and hear voices from the past that have been ignored or forgotten. We have worked alongside many organisations in Dorset, including the Museum of East Dorset, Dorset History Centre, Kushti Bok and Umoja Arts Network, with a commitment to diversifying culture.
