Part of a Story That Started Before Me is an extraordinary collection of poems chosen by acclaimed spoken-word performer and social commentator George the Poet.
Taking readers on an inspiring poetical journey through Black British history, the anthology brings together some of the most exciting wordsmiths from across the diaspora and fascinating era-by-era notes from historian Dr Christienna Fryar. From Africans in Roman Britannia to the first Black actor to play Othello on stage, from Malcolm X's visit to the West Midlands to highlighting an organizer of the UK's first Gay Pride, this important collection reveals unsung people and events from our past to recognize the intrinsic impact they've had on Britain today.
