Gold, Silver & Slaves (Britain's Slave Trade Documentary
Description: Gold, Silver & Slaves looks at how the business of slavery was a case of slave-trading by complicit Africans, fuelled by the greed of African kings.
This is the untold story of the greatest slaving nation in history. Up till now, Britain’s place in the history of slavery has been as the country that abolished the international slave trade.
Britain’s Slave Trade reveals the shameful truth behind this liberal facade, showing how the economic, social and cultural life of Britain would have been unrecognisable without slavery. Britain’s Slave Trade explains how a middling European power transformed itself into the ruler of the waves, tracing the impact this had on the British way of life and taking in the Industrial Revolution, the beginnings of Empire and the birth of modern racism along the way. It also unearths startling evidence showing how many families that think of themselves as ‘pure’ English stock are in fact descended from slave ancestors.

Duke Vin interview [Part 2] [UNCUT]
Description: Second part of this two-parter with the UK’s original sound system man, in which he describes his relationship with Count Suckle, a rivalry that continued to provoke animosity, and, on the other hand, the philosophy that helped him cope with racism and bigotry in his early days in England (“good times...tough times”). “Fools do not know they are fools”, he observes, and clearly he does not suffer them gladly. Finally, in bonus B-roll footage (trigger warning: not for those susceptible to motion sickness) we visit the inner sanctum where his vast collection of 45s is stored in..7” pizza boxes, the Duke spins a few tunes, and we meet the delightful Mrs. Vin.

Title:
Duke Vin interview [Part 1] [UNCUT]
Description: “When I came here the people were backward, they didn’t know anything. Seriously—I’m telling you”. It was England in the mid 1950s and what they didn’t know about (among other things) was the great Jamaican sound system tradition. As Vin tells it in this 2009 interview, it was his chance encounter with a 10” speaker box in Portobello Road that was to change all that, and thus permanently alter the UK’s musical landscape. The former selector for Jamaican sound system giant Tom the Great Sebastian came to dominate the sound clashes – or “competitions” – as he prefers. He recalls with particular relish the 1957 Lambeth Town Hall showdown with long time rival Count Suckle. His secret? “I play for the people”

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)
