The Centre for Pan-African Studies, in partnership with the School of Pan-African Thought, hosted the first event of the series “Black Britain and Pan-Africanism: Unpacking the Experiences of Black People in Britain”.

Black Diasporic Identities in the UK: Beyond a Single Narrative’ is the first event of the series, which seeks to unpack the diversity of experiences among the Black population in the UK. The panel discussion brings together academics, grassroots activists and social commentators, to answer the following questions: What is the state of Black lives in the UK? Who gets to speak on the ‘Black experience’ and who continues to remain at the margins? What are some of the current manifestations of Pan-Africanism and how can we leverage its legacy? Join us for what is going to be an engaging discussion on the current state of Black Lives in the UK.

Panelists are Dr Aisha Phoenix, Kelechi Okafor, Dr Toyin Agbetu, Lester Holloway. Chaired by Mikal Woldu.
