Company activities and impact

The Black Heritage Walks Network was set up in 2018 to highlight the achievements of the African Caribbean community in the UK. The initial aim was to capture the stories and history of the Windrush generation in Handsworth to mark the 70th anniversary of the HMT Empire Windrush carrying passengers from the Caribbean. The organisation has expended to developed numerous walks, exhibitions, film festivals and educational workshops. Black Heritage Walks are very prominent in USA, however despite the UK having a large black population and rich heritage, there is a lack of black heritage walks on offer. There was a realisation that Birmingham did not recognise or celebrate any of its black heritage or his-tory. Birmingham is the second city in the UK and is steeped in heritage, yet this is not reflected in its cultural offerings, despite having the largest Black population, outside of London. They decided to gather research, by speaking to local people, visiting archives and heritage sites, to create history walks from a British Afro Caribbean perspective. The walks are a great opportunity to enjoy some exercise and fresh air, while also developing an understanding of local place, and community. While walking, the Black Heritage Walks Network encourage participants to take notice of local businesses and groups operating within the area. A unique aspect of the heritage tours is that the participants add value to the research by sharing their own stories and experiences; rather than classroom style learning, the walks are interactive and immersive. Oral histories can help foster a greater sense of pride and connection to place. Heritage contextualises and grounds people, It gives us a sense of place and community.
