Overview
The organisation's drive is in changing the narrative of the common story of British history. Through studying Sociology, History and Black Studies, our organisation have been able to unpack years of documented events that have been archived in national and international storage facilities, interviewed award winning authors and studied academic journals.
This journey has given us the opportunity to access a range of perspectives, compare and contrast theorists and to build a better historical outlook. Having developed the ability to put theory into practice, we have spent years engaging in the conversation on British colonialism, hosting tours of the City London and contributing research to gallery and museum exhibitions.
This tour has the cutting edge like no other educational experience, packed with hidden history, humour, jaw dropping facts and a view of some London's ancient and modern architecture.
