As part of Aston University's Black History Month, the Department of History, Languages and Translation will be hosting a free online event with award-winning historian and TV personality, Professor David Olusoga OBE.

In his works, Professor Olusoga has highlighted how the teaching, learning, and commemorating of history in Britain has erased the centuries-long presence of Black people on the British Isles, as well as the centrality of colonialism and slavery in shaping modern British history.
