Link to explore the online urban history map provided below
(No actual walk due to COVID-19)

Manchester School of Architecture Students will be presenting their editable open source map of Manchester, showing a number of key locations and buildings that highlight Pan-African associations within Manchester. With each of the identified locations there will also be an explanation of the relevance (political/historical/musical etc.) of the site or location. Following the launch, this project will continue to develop further and involve local voices in its evolution, with the hope that this will be an ongoing and ever-evolving project for those interested in Manchester’s black urban history.​

The online map be launched during the David Olusoga in conversation event.
