Africans in Britain – a two thousand year history
Talk by local author Marika Sherwood
Africans have lived in Britain at least since they arrived as part of the conquering Roman army. This talk will serve as an introduction to this history, including a glimpse of some African residents in Kent. Marika Sherwood is a Sr Research Fellow at London University. She has written many books and articles on aspects of this history, and most recently, two books on how British merchants, bankers and others managed to circumvent the Acts of 1807 and 1833 making it illegal to trade in enslaved Africans and abolishing slavery.
