Virtual Black American Women Tour of London

A virtual tour of London & beyond highlighting the important & inspiring roles U.S. Black women played in the transatlantic freedom struggle

Welcome to my VIRTUAL tour of London!

After the success of my first Black Abolitionist Tour of London, I’ve created three other virtual tours of the city and of Britain/Ireland that highlight the inspirational activism of Black freedom fighters who crossed the Atlantic in the c19th to fight in the social justice struggle.

This tour completely focuses on Black American Women. While their role has often been invisibilised in the archive, Black women played an essential role in the transatlantic antislavery movement. In this tour, we will visit London, Edinburgh, Birmingham and Liverpool to learn about the courageous Ellen Craft (who disguised herself as a white man to escape slavery); Sarah Parker Remond (who led a very successful antislavery lecturing tour in England and then emigrated to Italy)…
