Located beside our shop, this temporary installation shines a light on three people whose lives illuminate the history of Black presence, resistance and activism in Britain.
The display was inspired by the popular book Bright Stars of Black British History by Joanna Williams and Angela Vives, from which the stories and illustrations originate.
Be sure to stop by to learn more about John Blanke, a musician in the court of Henry VIII, Mary Price, an enslaved woman who escaped and published her own life story, and Dr Harold Moody, a civil rights leader.
Following a rocket explosion in New Cross during the Blitz, Dr. Harold Moody (b.1882) was on the scene immediately, working night and day to clear the damage and treat injured people.
