Racism, Religion & Revival: My Nan's History of the Black Church in Britain
What did church in the UK really look like in 1959? In this powerful interview, I sat down with my nan — who immigrated from Barbados to the UK in the 1950s — to talk about her experiences with faith, church life, racism, and community over the last 60+ years. She shares what it was like to be a young Black Christian woman navigating a very different Britain, how the church handled race, and what’s changed (or hasn’t) between then and now.
