The meanings of Black History in Britain and beyond
Description: There can be no single version of ‘black history’. Its meaning differs from person to person, from place to place and from era to era - depending on such factors as school curriculums, media clichés and stereotypes, access to historical evidence, collective traditions, patterns of mobility, and experiences of gender and class.
The Birmingham Research Institute for History and Cultures (BRIHC) presents a roundtable discussion to grapple with the meanings of 'black history' in Britain and beyond. Hear the perspectives of academics from the fields of British, African and American history.
Speakers included:
Norma Gregory (Nottingham News Centre)
Azeezat Johnson (Critical Race & Ethnicities Network)
Kadian Pow (Black Studies, Birmingham City University)
Keith Shear (African Studies, University of Birmingham)
Natalie Thomlinson (Modern British Cultural History, University of Sheffield)

Description: Noisey Blackpool: The Controversial Rise of Blackpool Grime, hosted by Poet and starring Afghan Dan, Soph Aspin and Little T.
The last few years have seen a huge resurgence in UK grime and there are now a whole bunch of talented MCs around the UK with growing fanbases.
However, when a Youtube channel called Blackpool Grime Media, started getting a lot of attention earlier this year, it took a lot of people by surprise.
Not only were most of the MCs on there extremely young, but they all seems to be insulting each other using some very offensive language. Plus the amount the views they were getting was insane.
Noisey sent a team up to follow the three key players in the scene - Little T, Soph Aspin and Afghan Dan.Why was this happening? Why Blackpool? Was the beef real and did these kids have what it takes to forge a genuine career?

Black is the New Black -Episode.4
Description: Documentary series celebrating Britain's black community. Episode one explores both arriving and growing up in Britain through intimate interviews with prominent black Britons. Exceptional figures from politics, business, sport, culture, religion and science share their insights into being black and British today, how they got where they are and their thoughts on what the future holds.The first episode is about arriving and growing up in Britain. A cast of distinguished black Britons including Naomi Campbell, Sir Trevor McDonald, Thandie Newton, Baroness Scotland, musicians Jazzie B of Soul II Soul, Dizzie Rascal, Sir Lenny Henry, writer Gary Younge and many others talk about their parents as pioneers who came to the UK in search of a better life for them and their children. What they encountered was a whole raft of new experiences from snow to smoking chimneys - as well as prejudice, verbal abuse and physical violence. Actor David Harewood recounts attending his first football match at Leeds United as an eight-year-old, which ended with him leaving before the match had even begun with monkey chants and jeers ringing in his ears. The programme is a tribute to the dedication of immigrant parents who, with firm discipline, imparted important lessons about being twice as good, working hard and rising above racism. Their struggle was supposed to make it easier for the next generation to come to terms with their dual identity of being both black and British. Full description Black is the New Black

Talking to Black Lives Matter UK Supporters
Description: Sam Sholli asked Black Lives Matter UK activists a few questions at their #ShutDown event in London on 05/08/2016.
N.B. The 2,000 deaths in police custody over the last 10 years figure cited by one of the Black Lives Matter supporters in the video appears highly inflated.
According to figures from Inquest, since 1990 in England and Wales there have been 1563 deaths in police custody or otherwise following contact with the police. Around 10% were from BAME backgrounds.
The IPCC has also reported 238 deaths in or following police custody from 2004/05 to 2015/16.
