This display tells the stories of eight significant individuals of African and Caribbean heritage who lived, worked or studied in Camden contributing to the history of Camden and of Britain. It highlights the struggles, subjugation and discrimination faced by many people across the African diaspora over centuries and represents triumph over adversity through not only survival, but also determination and strength.
The achievements of these individuals led to significant social change in local, national and international contexts.
