All Our Histories is an innovative Exhibition in a Box exploring Black history, Camberwell and Southwark, and the legacies of enslavement – through powerful artwork by Sokari Douglas Camp and local research. It tells a story from Africa’s rich ancestral life through to the present day, and recognises the bravery, dignity and strength of the people who endured enslavement and fought for freedom.

Created for Key Stage 3, the resource helps young people explore complex histories in creative and meaningful ways.

These audio recordings are for Extracts 1–3, which are referenced in Activity Cards 2 and 3.

The entire resource can be downloaded for free and used in school and the community.
