At Black Cultural Archives (BCA), our mission has always been to collect, preserve, and celebrate Black British history while looking toward a sustainable and impactful future. On 18 February, a date of deep significance, we invite you to be part of a momentous occasion—our Virtual Town Hall.

This event takes place on the anniversary of the passing of our visionary co-founder, Len Garrison. His dedication to ensuring that Black British stories were preserved and shared has shaped BCA into what it is today. As we gather, we not only reflect on his legacy but also reaffirm our commitment to continuing his mission in bold and innovative ways. We are committed to being resilient, flexible, and entrepreneurial in our approach to work, ensuring that we adapt and thrive in an ever-changing landscape. We strive to make a tangible difference in our communities, advocating for meaningful change. We believe that learning about Black history should be accessible to all, and we work to make this a reality. Expanding the reach of our collections allows us to share our rich history with wider audiences. Additionally, by extending our workforce development program internationally, we aim to create even more opportunities for growth and empowerment.

This Virtual Town Hall will be a unique opportunity to:

  • Unveil BCA’s 2025 Strategy – hear first-hand about our vision for the future.

  • Engage with Guest Speakers – Hear from BCA board members, strategic partners and leadership staff who will share their insights on the future of BCA.

  • Share Your Voice – This is a space for you—our supporters, community members, and partners—to ask questions and offer your perspectives.

The future of BCA is a collective effort. Support from our community is essential as we work to continue our mission. By attending this town hall, you are playing an active role in building a stronger, more sustainable institution that serves generations to come.

This is a free virtual event, but registration is required. Sign up at  https://blackculturalarchives.org/events/bca-town-hall to receive access details ahead of the event.

Together, let’s honour the past and build the future. We look forward to seeing you there!
