Abstract

Recent media articles have complained of London being 'sold off to foreigners' It is certainly true that parts of London have drastically changed in appearance in recent years but what impact has there been on the African-Caribbean community ? Black History Walks have hosted a number of educational events on the Windrush generation, civil rights and housing in Brixton, Notting Hill and Hackney but some of our venues no longer exist due to gentrification.
What is gentrification ? Positives and negatives.
Peckham's history: Rural farms, upper class ghetto, urban warzone.
Black British Civil Rights in Southwark.
Black Empowerment via Wealth Creation: 'Box hand' and 'Sou Sou'
How African-Caribbean people regenerated Peckham before "Regeneration."
Depopulation, Re-population and racist shops.
