Hope everyone in the US is enjoying #BlackHistoryMonth & learning a lot! Just wanted to talk about how #BlackTudors can give you a new perspective on #BlackHistory. For over 100 years before 1619 there were Africans living in Britain. Looking at their experiences raises new Qs…
Did you know there were Africans at the courts of Henry VII, Henry VIII, Elizabeth I and James IV of Scotland? That an African diver salvaged items from the @MaryRoseMuseum? That there were Africans aboard the @GoldenHinde_ when Drake sailed it around the world in 1577-80?
In fact, Diego and Maria, and two other unnamed African men were with Drake when he landed in California in 1579- Africans (albeit briefly) in North America forty years before 1619.
