The Black History Museum
What this site shows us about the web
The material pictured and discussed in this site is held in a private house. Without the web, it would stay unseen (expect occasionally on TV, whose Antiques Roadshow featured it twice).
What this site hopes to achieve for the culture
British culture is a bit nervous about discussing “blackness” and it’s time to be a bit freer and more robust.
Based on a single expert’s brilliant collection of black memorabilia, this is a site devoted to how black people have been and are perceived. It’s fresh in that it’s markedly unkeen on black victimhood.
