Celebrating Black and Asian life in England

This month which is Black History Month, England is launching a year long campaign that will map a century of England's history from a black and asian perspective.

The project is called Another England.

Another England aims to tell the story of the country's rich multicultural heritage from 1918-2018.

The project spans the period from the end of the Great War through to what will be in 2018 the 70th Anniversary of the British Nationality Act.

Another England aims to draw attention to the black and asian people who have played a part in creating today's multicultural society while recognising the challenges the have faced and continue to face. 

The project will travel across the country, running regional workshops in Birmingham, Bristol, Leeds, Liverpool, London, Manchester and Newcastle to raise  awareness of Another England and to support those involved.

Another England has a website where individuals, families and communities can upload their photographs and histories.

From this project, it seems like Another England want the whole of England to get involved an help celebrate all the work that black and asian people have done throughout history.
