Scawdi / History Detectives on Carl Chinn's History Prog BBCWM

While I was pleased to hear a black ppresence on Carl Chinn's weekly programme, I was disappointed to hear, once again, Scawdi / History Detectives peddaling the view that they are the first to bring to light local black history.

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?
