1) Time for a #genealogy THREAD on #BlackHistory #BlackGenealogy resources. The following is an incomplete list of the people I’ve learned from, great projects/initiatives & useful resources for educating beyond the white European perspective

The Black Cultural Archives @bcaheritage is based in Brixton, London, UK. Its collections address the histories of Caribbean and African culture in Britain and they also develop and deliver educational programmes of #BlackBritish #history https://blackculturalarchives.org"> https://blackculturalarchives.org
If you’re wanting to learn about US #genealogy then I’d recommend the YouTube stream for @blackprogen, led by @neeksmith - informative, engaging and has a formidable number of videos waiting for you right here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXTLb9wPqZyyCmUirljokKlWYVkeRAmYK">https://www.youtube.com/playlist...
4) The UK National Archives maintains a page of resources relating to #BlackBritish #history items in their #archives collection, ranging from Early Modern through to present day: https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/black-history/ ">https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/black-his...
5) You can also learn about #migration from the Caribbean to the UK from Guy Grannum @guygrannum (author of Tracing Your Caribbean Ancestors), who is delivering an online talk for TNA on 19 June, “Caribbean Connections” #archives #history #BAME https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/whats-on-line-caribbean-connections-tickets-101816084650?aff=portal">https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/whats-o...
6) If you have time or funds to spare, then please consider getting involved with the Reparational #Genealogy Project, led by Carolynn @AncestorsAlive http://ancestorsalivegenealogy.com/the-reparational-genealogy-project/">https://ancestorsalivegenealogy.com/the-repar...
7) ...the Reparational #Genealogy Project provides pro-bono #Genealogy services to descendants of the enslaved and works to educate the white genealogy community about the structural, cultural and historical racism that impacts on Black genealogy researchers
Follow #BlackHistoryMonth https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> and promote Black #history all year round, not just in October when there’s a stronger media focus. This history is for all year round, not just 31 days a year https://www.blackhistorymonth.org.uk"> https://www.blackhistorymonth.org.uk
9) Assist Esmie @esmiejp with her Impact of Omission Survey today. Our school history curricula in the UK fall very short in addressing Black British #history and other #BAME narratives. Add your voice to the list and show what weren’t taught at school...

10) I’ve already filled in the survey. I loved #history at school, but other than two weeks looking at the slave trade, Wilberforce and abolition, there was no other ref to #BlackBritish history and an overt focus on white Eurocentric perspectives...
11) If you have access to @BBCiPlayer then catch up on the current series of A House Through Time, with the superb @DavidOlusoga. It requires us to confront the hidden ways in which #slavery bleeds into our collective histories, homes & society #history http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m000jjn8">https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/e...
