Honouring Walter Tull: a football pioneer and war hero. The first black outfield player in the Football League, he broke racial barriers and later served bravely as an officer in WWI. His courage and legacy continue to inspire. #WalterTull #WarHero #FootballHistory #BlackHistory @PoppyLegion

"For too long, Africa's history has either been denigrated; they've been told they don't have any, or it's been written by outsiders and I think that it is time that we ventilate African scholarship and put them center stage when it comes to appreciating African history."
The amazing broadcaster, journalist and filmaker @TheZeinabBadawi at the #BBBF24 where she reiterated the importance putting stories by Africans and those of African descent to the centre stage.✨
