The International Slavery Museum is pleased to host this groundbreaking exhibition of portrait photographs by John Ferguson, one of Britain's most talented Black photographers.
Black Britannia focuses on Africans, and those of African descent, who have achieved success in contemporary Britain. Like many Black people throughout history, they have overcome racism and discrimination, twin legacies of transatlantic slavery. This exhibition pays homage to their resilience and inspirational qualities.
