The South West

Black Women In The South West

We hope you've heard about the historic Bristol Bus Boycott in the 1960s, but that's not the only bit of black history happening in England's South West.

From the story of American GIs in World War 2 to the history of black people in rural Britain, there is so much more for you to discover – and Black Ballad's archive is as good a place as ever to start.
