My name is Salama and i am 24 years old i am the fourth child of nine from my father and the first of two from my mother. As a child growing up i always felt that i didn’t recieve the black history i needed to support me with who i wanted to be, I am on a quest to find out the positives in black history. I want to know where black people have lived and what black people have done for up and coming black people today.
Personally i am aware of what black history can be but I have been overcasted because whenever it is mentioned we only ever hear about slavery. I am not interested in slavery, I want to know what has happened to the legacies of the black people who died to make things right for us. I want to know about the facts about our black leaders and heroes, recieve information about our culture, past and present victories and aspirations.
With this project i want to open eyes and ears but for this to happen i need to be involved with people in Bristol to gather information.
Where should i begin?
