Thank you to Westminster Abbey and Halal Tourism Britain for delivering such rich and informative tours for our BCA Youth Programme members as part of our Black Spirituality & Liberation project.

We’re grateful to Westminster Abbey for hosting a bespoke, after-hours Black history tour that traced the deep entanglement of Christianity and colonialism. We’re equally thankful to Halal Tourism Britain for illuminating Brixton’s local Black Muslim histories, particularly the powerful through-line linking Dusé Mohamed Ali, Marcus Garvey, and Malcolm X.

If you’re interested in learning more about these histories, please join us for the BCA Youth Programme’s project conclusion event on Saturday 18 July, focusing on Black Spirituality & Liberation. Visit https://buff.ly/bU6NWeO for more information on this free event.
