As an ongoing project the author, Dan Lyndon (Head of History, Henry Compton School, Fulham) welcomes any contributions to the website, especially teaching materials that can be shared.
Black Presence
Asian and Black History in Britain, 1500-1850.
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 website aims to reclaim some of this history and make it more widely known.
BBC Multicultural History
Comprehensive website that covers Black history, Asian History and Jewish History, from the 19th century to the present day. Includes contributions from key black and minority ethnic figures on contemporary issues. Also provides links to other relevant websites.
Channel 4 Black and Asian History Map
The education section is primarily for teachers who teach level Key Stage 4 in Great Britain. Also appropriate for those interested in multicultural Britain. The courses have been written by teachers for teachers and each subject consists of five lessons. Each lesson is clearly organised to show the aims, learning outcomes, prior learning required and resources. Also includes video clips.
