Liverpool Black Heritage

Liverpool's greatest period of economic wealth from the mid-eighteenth to mid-nineteenth century came at a price: the ruthless exploitation of African resources, which not only included raw materials but also humans. However, when one begins to unravel Liverpool's black past there emerges a fascinating story of one of the most vibrant minority ethnic communities in Britain. One that although heavily influenced by the transatlantic slave trade is far more wide-ranging in depth.
