Oral History Project - Chris Alexander

So far, the Oral History Project episodes shared this month have all been conversations between two people from different generations, brought together to discuss a shared experience.

In this episode of our Oral History Project, we interview our colleague Chris, who works in our very own Fundraising department, and who tells us about his experiences growing up with Caribbean heritage in East London in the 1970’s and 80’s.

He reflects on how his own cultural identity has changed over the years, talks about Black history still not being part of the UK curriculum and explains the importance of having conversations about culture, race and heritage.
