@rwldproject.bsky.socialAnd we're delighted that our posts helped inform the Mixed Museum's thinking around its 'Echoes of the Line' exhibition & audio series, looking at Britain's multiracial rail history:

@rwldproject.bsky.socialOctober is #BlackHistoryMonth - a specific chance to recognise & highlight the roles of People of Colour in the past & present.
That's really needed in #RailwayHistory in the UK, where questions of ethnicity have received only limited attention.
This is particularly so around railway work
@ncch.bsky.socialFor #BlackHistoryMonth, we're sharing a project shaped by Leicester's African and Caribbean community. They used theatre to make it easier to tell a doctor that something doesn't feel right.
