For Black History Month, I want to highlight Black bookshops including New Beacon Books, the UK’s 1st Black bookshop. Back in 2021, owners said they’d be closing their doors due to financial constraints but people raised over £70k to keep them open. Check them out all year round

This is Cape Coast Castle in Ghana. It was taken by the British in the 1600's and was used for slavery until 1870 even though slavery was abolished by the British in 1807. For over three hundred years it was used to make profit... Take a look at the brickwork @robertjen

It's started.
