Black Cul­tur­al Archives

About

BCA, or the Black Cul­tur­al Archives, was found­ed in 1981 with the ob­jec­tive of gath­er­ing, con­serv­ing, and ap­pre­ci­at­ing the out­stand­ing ac­com­plish­ments of Black peo­ple to the cul­ture, so­ci­ety, and her­itage of the Unit­ed King­dom. The archives house a sub­stan­tial as­sort­ment of one-of-a-kind trea­sures that in­clude pa­pers, pho­tographs, and oral ar­ti­facts as well as ob­jects that go as far back as the sec­ond cen­tu­ry. These items pro­vide a cap­ti­vat­ing look into the his­to­ry of Black Britons. Even though BCA is

of­ten dis­re­gard­ed, it col­lab­o­rates with sev­er­al or­ga­ni­za­tions and pro­vides pub­lic pro­grams with the aim of ed­u­cat­ing and cul­ti­vat­ing re­la­tion­ships among dif­fer­ent com­mu­ni­ties via this vi­tal her­itage. At present, BCA is con­struct­ing the first-ever Black her­itage cen­ter in the UK, to be lo­cat­ed in Win­drush Square at the heart of Brix­ton, Lon­don, and ea­ger­ly an­tic­i­pates the launch of this sig­nif­i­cant en­ter­prise.
