Sunderland Black History Walk
room 5 ECHOES
SunderlandThis walk shows Sunderland’s Black History, both through the work of some notable Black citizens and in stories of two centuries of anti-racism activism. It also shows that Sunderland has a history of enslavement, the legacy of which lives on. This is a short walk, with plenty of opportunities to grab a cuppa.
The walk is part of Project North Star, including Sunderland University. The audio on the app is voiced by Sunderland University students Endurance Idowu and Godstime David.
