We're collecting names of historical Black, Asian and Minority-Ethnic individuals and groups of all sorts who have a significant link with #Wales for potential future inclusion in the Dictionary of Welsh Biography as part of our Anti-Racist Wales Action Plan project.

I'm currently compiling a list of suitable candidates, one of which are the many Italian Welsh families who have left a massive culinary imprint on Welsh cuisine and coffee culture.

If you have a name you'd like added -- or want to write about yourself, please get in touch!

If your interest is piqued, here's the #OpenAccess link to Robert Burrough's book "lack students in Imperial Britain : the African Institute, Colwyn Bay, 1889-1911" (2022) which details the lives and experiences of the Black students enrolled at Congo House/African Institute.

Been doing a little digging around the history of Colwyn Bay's Congo House to find names for future inclusion in the #Bywgraffiadur. I was aware that none of the students' names had yet been included in the list, but i was certainly surprised that not even the founder, William Hughes, has been recognised yet, even though he would have fallen well into the centre of the Venn diagram (white, male, man of the cloth).

Anyway, here's a charming little mini #documentary as a primer into the history of the establishment, its founder and his students.
