  • Summary

  • Bonnie meets an inspirational figure who was crucial to the Civil Rights movement in the USA. Pauli Murray was an activist, lawyer and poet who broke the mould. She’s the most influential person in the civil rights movement you’ve probably never heard of. As the series draws to a close, Bonnie visits her beloved British Museum to ask what is the legacy of all these untold stories - and how we can reshape our history to tell a richer tale about our world.

We can’t change the past, but we should know about it…

I have listened to this twice… because this is indeed a subject worth hearing more about fully.
As a fairly educated person and having lived in Nigeria as a child, I was unaware of racism until I picked up a book as a younger teenager called ‘to be a slave’ .. I had little idea of this horror, until history at school described the trans Atlantic slave trade, that we all in the U.K. part of still today.
We can’t change history but we can learn fully about it, and hear the whole story from many sides and many centuries was excellent, to flesh out one’s existing knowledge, as this did for me.
It was so fascinating to have the whole black & white history viewpoint told by such an engaging writer and academic like Bonnie Greer.
