Hope everyone in the US is enjoying #BlackHistoryMonth & learning a lot! Just wanted to talk about how #BlackTudors can give you a new perspective on #BlackHistory. For over 100 years before 1619 there were Africans living in Britain. Looking at their experiences raises new Qs… Did you know there were Africans at the courts of Henry VII, Henry VIII, Elizabeth I and James IV of Scotland? That an African diver salvaged items from the @MaryRoseMuseum? That there were Africans aboard the @GoldenHinde_ when Drake sailed it around the world in 1577-80?

Also today, #FlintCastle Sorry to hear that this view of Flint Castle @AmgueddfaCymru in Cardiff has never been exhibited in North Wales - practical issues of course but maybe @cadwwales could display a photo of it or project it on the side of the ruin at night? museum.wales/collections/br…
