  Black Presence: Asian and Black History in Britain, 1500-1850  
Montage of Black people against a background of London
Enter Exhibition
* People of African and Asian origin have lived in Britain for at least two thousand years. But this aspect of our heritage has been largely forgotten. By presenting a selection of relevant records held by The National Archives and other sources, the Black Presence exhibition aims to reclaim some of this history and make it more widely known.
