While I was pleased to hear a black presence on Carl Chinn's weekly radio programme, I was disappointed to hear, once again, Scawdi / History Detectives promoting the view that they are the first to bring local black history to light.
Does this assertion stem from an ignorance of all the work that has been done in the past, or is it a deliberate slight against (or direspect for) this work?
Would it really hurt the self-promotion of Scawdi / History Detectives to acknowledge the LONG presence of historians/archivists who have been toiling to bring local black history to light?
