THEY DID I CAN TOO

Born in south London, They Did I Can Too was created as a resource to inspire, encourage and inform. This platform showcases contributions made by historical Black, Mixed-Race Black and Asian individuals here in the UK. We celebrate these Champions or Champs (our terms!) who are far too often overlooked in mainstream UK history.

They Did I Can Too acknowledges the presence of Black, Mixed-Race Black and Asian people in the UK as part of UK history. The individuals featured on this website were either born in the UK or settled on these shores and have made an impact locally, nationally, or internationally. Check out an introduction to our Champs HERE. Who inspires you? Tell us HERE.

We also celebrate these Champions, icons and pioneers through our in-person art or quiz themed Creativity through Conversation Workshops. Find out more HERE.

And there’s a bonus! A general careers section to help set you on your very own Champions journey. Click HERE for more information.
