1. African & British Before the 16th Century

This lesson, titled African & British Before the 16th Century, explores the underrepresented history of Black individuals in Britain before the transatlantic slave trade. It challenges the common narrative that Black people in European countries were only slaves or servants by highlighting their diverse roles, economic statuses, and lifestyles. The lesson delves into key historical figures such as the “Beachy Head Lady” and “Ivory Bangle Lady” and presents scientific evidence of African descent individuals in Roman-era Britain.

In this bundle, you will receive a download of the PowerPoint lesson, a detailed lesson plan, and a lesson worksheet booklet full of activities for students to complete and follow along with the lesson. This comprehensive package will enrich students’ understanding of Black history in Britain and encourage critical thinking.
