Greetings!
It's Black History Month here in the UK and while I promote Black history all year round, here are 3 events next week to celebrate the month. Hope to see you at one of the events.
Lunchtime tour of the Petrie Museum
Tuesday 25th October
Join me for a tour of the Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology.
See their collection of 80,000 objects, from over 7,000 years of Nile Valley history which is so relevant for understanding Black History.
Refreshments will be provided. Free but booking essential.

Nefertiti: A Black icon?
Monday 31st October
The bust of Nefertiti in the Berlin museum is one of the best-known faces of ancient Egypt.
Nefertiti has also become an icon of modern Black beauty.
Is Nefertiti a valid icon for Black women when the most famous image of her shows her as White?
