The Black Presence website was formerly the Black Presence in Britain, a history site about the contribution of African descended people in British history.

The Black Presence in Britain website was set up in 1998 due to a lack of information about Black people in Britain to be found on the Internet.

I was studying politics at the time, the course included a history module called " The black Presence in Britain 1550-present day".

Whilst doing my research I found a serious lack of Black British info online. So I decided to build my own site where this information could be documented. The site has had many incarnations since then.

Today the site aims to represent and give voice to all those of African descent, those with African Ancestry families with dual heritage members.
