- Roger Griffith
To mark Black History Month, Roger Griffith (author and Chair of Ujima Radio) talks about his travels in America, where he discovered a shared heritage through slavery and identity from the civil rights struggle. Highlights include seeing the inauguration of Barack Obama and visiting the scene of the assassination of Dr Martin Luther King. Griffith connects this personal story to the Caribbean and the Windrush generation that brought him to Bristol. He will also give insights on current race issues, readings from his book My American Odyssey: From the Windrush to the White House and a brand new poem.
Following the talk there will be a special screening of Britain on Film: Black Britain, a series of short films on black culture and community.
