Watch to learn how this handmade black doll represents the African diaspora in England

What Sets This Handmade Black Doll Apart?

This handmade Black doll was created in London, and is distinguished from others by her representation of the African diaspora in England. The roots of African presence in England delve deep into history, tracing back to at least the 2nd century AD, when African soldiers became integral parts of the Roman Empire's army. Throughout subsequent centuries, African men and women left an indelible mark on the English Royal Courts, from Henry VII to James I, long before the extensive migrations prompted by the slave trade and European colonization in the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. More than a simple Black rag doll, this Black British doll is a celebration of history, heritage and diversity.
