Not much of a Black presence at the National Arboretum Museum.
Apparently the BWIR is in the process of gaining a memorial.
Come on peeps - let's get our act together.
How many thousands of people who visit the National Arboretum Museum each year are being left with the impression that black people did not contribute.

To what extent is the study of Black British History a pointless project?
It's NOT a pointless project at all, so long as it is remembered that it may be more of a journey than a destination.

Helene, baptised 2nd May 1593
Baptismal records state that the illegitimate Helene, baptised 2nd May 1593, was the daughter of Cristian, the negro servant of Richard Sheere. It also states that the supposed father was Cuthbert Holman. Eg. Sheere rented out Cristian to his friends for sexual novelty & experimentation.
