Before social media--long before #BlackLivesMatter--journalists of color were setting hot metal to paper to declare that Black lives matter. At the heart of these newspapers were driven, often heroic individuals, passionate about addressing global racial injustice. Their publications became catalysts for change, raising awareness and empowering Black and minority ethnic communities across the UK.

The work of Samuel Jules Celestine Edwards, Dusé Mohamed Ali, Claude McKay, George Padmore, Una Marson, Claudia Jones, and Darcus Howe played a crucial role in the birth of multicultural Britain. At a time when overt color bars still operated across much of the Western world and the injustices of empire loomed large, it was these journalists' newspapers that exposed such wrongs to a wider audience--fueling the movement for change.

​Spanning a transformative era--from the height of Britain's empire to the early 1980s, when Black British and Asian communities were finding their collective voice--INK! reveals a powerful and inspiring history. It tells the story of how the sacrifices and struggles of the past helped shape modern Britain and laid the foundation for a more progressive future.
