About this listen

Brought to you by Puffin.

Hiya! Alison Hammond here! I love getting to know all about different people and I'll tell you a secret . . . sometimes people we don't know much about are the most interesting of all! Which is really what this book is all about.

Let me ask you a question: How many Black people can you name from our history? Mary Seacole? Ira Aldridge? George Bridgetower? Pablo Fanque? Walter Tull? Have you heard of these people?

Yes? That's great! But if you haven't, don't worry, you're not alone, which is why I'm so excited to tell you all about them. Because the people in this book should be totally famous given the AMAZING things they've done! And we're not going to stop in the past, I'll introduce you to people making waves right here and now!

From sportspeople to scientists, activists to musicians, politicians to writers, we're going to meet a whole bunch of AWESOME people who have helped shape the world we live in. So, are ready for you a journey Black in time?? Course you are, let's go!

A great read, suitable for all ages.
I've read Alison's book and loved it. The book is perfect for the targeted age group, and the 'Quick Facts' features during the chapters are an excellent learning and review aid. I read other similar titles written by established and celebrated historians, such as Hakim Adi 'Afican and Carribean people in Britain' and David Olusoga 'Black and British'. This book is not fake news. The events of the lives of the Black British people captured in this book and explained so well by the author are very real and historically documented.

Excellent
