- The Crown in the Ledger: What Finding Britain’s Slave Traders Asked Us to Face
What happens when Britain’s history is no longer told through monuments, wealth and institutions, but through the ledger behind them? Finding Britain’s Slave Traders with David Olusoga brings names, companies, royal connections and fortunes into focus, forcing us to confront how deeply the transatlantic slave trade was embedded in British society. In “The Crown in the Ledger,” we explore what these records reveal about wealth, power, responsibility and the legacy that remains today.

Othello: A Timeless Exploration of Jealousy, Racism, and Ambition - A life lived beyond the limits of representation
Bonnie Greer was never simply a writer, playwright or broadcaster. She was a cultural force who refused to be confined by the expectations placed on Black women in public life. From Chicago to Britain, from theatre and literature to television and institutional leadership, she built a life defined by intellect, independence and an unapologetic right to occupy space.

But how old is Carnival really and who helped build it? From Claudia Jones and the pioneering 1959 Caribbean Carnival to Edric and Pearl Connor’s cultural activism, the 1964 turning point and the emergence of the street Carnival, this is a story of resistance, creativity, identity and belonging. The Carnival was born more than once. And the people who helped build it deserve to be remembered.
